What a first live session on our new @BBC6Music morning show! Thank you so much to @richardhawley and crew and happy birthday to the wonderful Coles Corner….Such a special artist and album for so many of our listeners. I lost count of the number of messages we got saying they’d chosen Richard’s music for a first dance, or that it had soundtracked the beginning of a new relationship. The older pics here are from a Valentines Day session Richard did for us last time I was doing mornings on 6 – must be 10 years ago at least – proving that romance (like great tunes and cool shades) is eternal. The years are flying by and sometimes it’s important to look back as well as at what’s to come. Loved today. Listen back on @bbcsounds if you missed it!

Life lately…It’s been an incredible week or so. It’s still a bit surreal to be back to work full time, doing a job I love so much. Thank you to my tremendous friends, family and colleagues for their support over the past six months. Anyone who’s been through cancer treatment knows it takes a good while to start feeling like yourself again once you’re better – being back with the @bbc6music listeners this week, having a laugh and shooting the breeze about music and their mornings felt like a massive part of that puzzle being nudged into place so thanks for listening if you did. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. See you on Monday? 📻 🙌🏻

Looking as happy as I felt to be back on air @bbc6music this morning. Last summer today felt like it might never come so it was hugely emotional and joyful to return to doing what I love full time. Thank you so much to everyone who helped get me here, everyone who listened and messaged, to my amazing show team and the incredible people who run our station and have been so supportive during such a difficult time. I feel so lucky and grateful. Will be back with you 10-1 tomorrow. Can’t wait to do it all again.

This weekend’s #DesertIslandDiscs castaway is the wonderful @nickcaveofficial. Eight tracks, a book, a luxury and an incredible life story. Join us on Sunday morning @bbcradio4 and @bbcsounds
Popped up on air @bbc6music with this handsome Dan today to announce that @nicholasgrimshaw will be the new 6Music breakfast show host, I will be moving to mid mornings and the wonderful @maryannehobbs_ will start a new show later this spring. These transitions are always more emotional than you’d imagine they might be, and for me that is very much about the incredible team in pic 2 – who made it such a joy to host the breakfast show every day for the past six years. It’s been a time of momentous change for me personally and we all went through a pandemic, during which we were on air for 4h every weekday. I can honestly say that no matter what life was throwing at us, it was truly a pleasure to go to work every single day. I always looked forward to seeing these faces, sharing brilliant music and hearing what our listeners had to say, and I will miss our team so much. I hope we made your mornings brighter and set you up for the day and I know Nick will continue doing that. As for mid mornings, I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for all the kind messages of encouragement and support today, and for listening to our station. We’re all so lucky and proud to be part of it.
