“I’m *delighted* to be able to tell you that I’m joining BBC 6 Music.

I’ll be presenting the all-new Weekend Breakfast Show on Saturdays and Sundays 7am-10am.

The show launches January 5th 2013, and will be broadcast live from Media City in Salford.

For me: Music Is Life. I’m so excited to join a family with such depth and diversity of knowledge, pure passion and ingenuity. I look forward so much to the challenge of creating beautiful new programmes which embody the whole Spirit Of 6 and allow me to explore my passion for arts and culture on some fascinating new radio terrain.

I’d be thrilled to bits if you would join me..
