[Music] Lauren Laverne back to mid-mornings on 6 Music

[Monkey Man]

Very happy with this news. Her show is much better suited to mid-mornings than breakfast and I find Mary Ann Hobbs unlistenable, I'm afraid.

I go through spells of listening to MAH but her music tastes are similar to find. That’s a shame as not really a fan of Lauren

 

[jcdenton08]

I loved her in Kenickie and singing Don’t Falter by Mint Royale (a real underrated summer pop CHOON)

With bonus Lauren sucking a lollipop and making kissy faces at the camera. What’s not to love!



Also, does she ever age?!

But Grimshaw will stay in the mornings. Sake

Agree.

I currently turn back onto BBC6 at 1pm for Craig Charles - will now be able to have it on earlier

I like Lauren, happy she is back. Not convinced by Grimshaw.

 

[Nathan]

Think MAH is an acquired taste and 6 music is a good platform for her and the music she plays, just not sure it sits well in the mid-morning slot.

 

[BN9 BHA]

No more mid morning Techno hopefully

No more mid morning Techno hopefully

... or token bursts of dreary thrash/death metal. Or that fake-awe monotone and fake chuckling every other link. I'm sure MAH is a lovely person but on the radio it's like fingernails down a blackboard to me.

You lot have summarized nicely why I never listen to music on the radio. The last time I listened regularly was when Judge Jules and John Peel were on radio 1. I have dipped in and out of 6 music, but I have turned into such an entitled old bastard that I refuse to sit through 5 tracks I don't like in order to hear one that's OK. I just search on youtube now. I will listen to R 5 because I can dip in and out of dull chat as long as it isn't punctuated by loathsome music.

I do agree that Lauren Laverne is deeply pleasing on the eye, however. Even if her real name was Gofton. Not as nice as Ravenscroft.

I'm mildly baffled that anyone listens to 90% of music radio stations nowadays. (i.e. 10% of hosts have decent banter)

It was needed back in the day, but the Spotify algorithm is miles better at finding me all the music I could possibly enjoy now, and delivering it straight to my ears with no adverts and no annoying chat.

 

[CHAPPERS]

1btn is 100 times better than 6 music.

Im with you on that. Everything has to be "amazing" "legend""my queen" or other such over the top nonsense

 

[Is it PotG?]

MAH plays far better music, but her voice is far more grating than LL

I didn’t know! Great tune, and Lauren Laverne was and is quite lovely.

I've not liked any of the changes Samantha Hoy made to 6 music since taking over. But she regards Grimshaw as "one of the greatest presenters of his generation"so I think we disagree strongly on many things

Lauren Laverne steps down from BBC 6 Music Breakfast Show, Nick Grimshaw takes over next month

There’s been a big shake-up for the BBC Radio 6 Music daytime schedule including a new presenting slot for Lauren Laverne, following her treatment for cancer. Read on for the full story…

Funnily enough I don't mind the eclecticism of her music choices BUT you are so right about her delivery. The 'fake-awe' in her interview with Nick Cave a few months back made me want to burn my ears off!
