Adam Buxton and his Bowie Based Slot on 6Music

[namesinspace]

Last night BBC 6Music released details of it's Bowie Week.

Further highlights include Adam Buxton giving his own unique guide to BBC Archive interviews with Bowie; Cerys Matthews gets an exclusive visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Bowie exhibition before it opens; and the Live Music Hour will play David Bowie’s 1971 Paris Theatre In Concert set, which has only ever been played out in its entirety twice before and was last heard by listeners on 20 June, 1971.

Adam Buxton said: “David Bowie has done a lot of interviews in his 45-year career and I've listened to most of them. I'll be taking a journey through my favourite parts of Bowie's work thus far and putting them in the context of a few of his most insightful, charming, and ludicrous interviews.”

Sunday 31 March on 6 Music

Adam Buxton on David Bowie, 4-6pm: In this special show, self-confessed Bowie nut Adam Buxton takes listeners on a journey through the weird and wonderful world of one of the UK's most colourful pop stars. Featuring rare interviews, some unheard for over 30 years, Adam hand-picks some classic BBC Bowie moments, capturing the alternative spirit of Bowie's ever-changing persona.

Looking forward to this as a fan of Adam Buxton and David Bowie.
SO many days to go, though.

This sounds absolutely brilliant. Exactly the type of stuff Adam would be brilliant at.
And as a big Bowie fan myself... This is like a double bonus!

There have been some trails for Adam's show on the radio today.

I don't know if anyone was as surprised as I was to see such an old picture of Adam on the 6Music Bowie page but if you were, don't worry. I fixed it.

Just in case this was missed on Twitter yesterday, Adam said he'd put as much of this show as he could on his Soundcloud, which will save me the bother of grabbing it

Did everyone manage to listen to this? It's a masterpiece. Twitter was flooded with praise. I was too engrossed to check if it trended at all. I'll bet it will register high on the iPlayer radio charts.

Yeah I listened as it was going out. Very enjoyable.
I'm hoping some lovely persons do the usual edit thing without the annoying news and trailers. It's certainly one for the archive.
