Title: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, December 3, 2010, 21:50:23 Like him or loathe, he had two great radio shows on late-night Radio 2. Apparently he walked because they wouldn't give him an earlier slot.

Also didn't realise how good Hank Williams was till hearing him on his shows. Steve Wright looks well Rich? Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: flammableBen on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:12:12 I'm sure he'll eventually get a 6music show where he can actually play what he wants.
Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:12:21 Don't forget how committed to non mainstream music the BBC are...
Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:15:00 Steve Wright looks well Rich? Considering he was sentenced to hang in the 1980's, he looks very well indeed. Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: Nemo on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:16:00 6Music is a great little station, threatening to close it has done wonders for its listener numbers as well. I flipped it on the other day after a Town game and Jon Holmes was playing XTC, excellent.

Is he a Swindon boy? Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: flammableBen on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:17:59 6music is an amazing station, great during the day and then some great themed stuff during the evenings. Also Adam and Joe are back on christmas day.
The amount we get out of the licence fee puts sky subscribers to shame. Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: leefer on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:18:44 Can someone answer me this so I know once and for all. Is he a Swindon boy? Yes...he went to Park School...or Oaklands as it was later. Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:21:52 I imagine Mark Lamarr would indeed fit into 6Music.
God's Jukebox was a brilliant show as was Shake Rattle and Roll and his Reggae Show. Boo-Hiss. Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Friday, December 3, 2010, 22:22:13 He lived up the road from me

I went to Park with him between 81 and 83. He lived on Whitbourne Avenue.

In the last few weeks alone, the Ashes and Ryder Cup in HD puts paid to your theory.

As long as you like either cricket or golf.

And we don't have to watch/listen fucking adverts (aside from the Beeb ones) either Title: Re: Mark Lamarr Leaves BBC Radio 2 Post by: stfcinbmth on Monday, December 6, 2010, 07:37:07 And we don't have to watch/listen fucking adverts (aside from the Beeb ones) either Worth the licence fee alone.
