Steve Lamacq to scale back BBC Radio 6 Music show

Dec 18,2024 2:21 am

By Ian YoungsEntertainment & arts reporter

BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq is to scale back his afternoon shows from Five Days a week to one, saying he's " a bit knackered" after 18 years.

Lamacq has hosted The Station 's daily weekday teatime show since 2005.

He will take a Break In October before returning with a weekly show on Mondays in January. Huw Stephens will take over his slot from Tuesdays to Fridays.

Lamacq said " the obsessive way I do this job hasn't really left enough time" for his wife and Young Daughter .

" On top of that, I'm going to be 59 next month and there are some other things which I'd quite like to do while I can, " he told listeners on Friday.

One of those things will be to " give something back and try and find a more practical way of supporting the live music circuit, which I owe so much to" He Said .

'Family comes first'

" It will be a wrench to leave this slot full time. But after 36 years in radio and journalism chasing around after new bands, I'm a bit knackered and The Family at this point comes first because they've been there for me - and now I want to be there for them. "

Samantha Moy, head of 6 Music, described Lamacq as a " legend".

" Committed, passionate, with a knack for finding The Diamond in the rough, he is one of our finest, " She Said , adding: " While we were tucked up in bed, he was at a gig, watching someone unheard or unsigned, that he'll play on the radio, who might then become your new obsession.

" Over 30 years is a long time to be doing that Every Day of the week, 20 years of them at 6 Music. "

Stephens will broadcast his shows from Cardiff as part of The Bbc 's Across the UK plans.
