Bobby Gillespie to host 'Virtual Festival'

Radio6 - Virtual Festival

Having let Radiohead manage their programming over Christmas, the BBC's digital music station 6Music is putting Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie in charge. Gillespie will present his 'fantasy music festival' on the station over the weekend 24/25 Jan using classic sessions from the BBC's archive. Music is expected from the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Roxy Music, the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd and Joy Division. John Sugar, programme editor at 6 Music, told reporters: "After the fantastic success of working with Radiohead it has been a real pleasure to explore the musical taste of Bobby Gillespie."
