Huey Morgan's last week on BBC6 Music

So, it's former Fun Lovin' Criminal, Huey Morgan's last week covering for Lauren Laverne's morning show on BBC6 Music.

Huey, in my opinion, is one of the best radio DJs around. He gets the mix of not being annoying and easy on the ear along with playing a broad, bright and refreshing selection of music expertly: Within an hour of this-morning's show, he'd played Led Zepplin, ACDC, A Tribe Called Quest, Python Lee Jackson and Dr Dre & Snoop. He also took the micky out of next year's Glasto’ headliners, quipping: "So the headline acts for Glastonbury next year have been confirmed: We[‘ve] got Beyonce, Coldplay and U2. Wow, that'll be exciting. I guess it's too late for the guys that got their tickets early to demand a refund, right?"

The man has a cool, on-air persona, aided by his snugly smooth voice; which he doesn't overuse. He has a respectful opinion, and manages to juggle the 6Music playlist along with his own, educated selections adeptly. Yes, I know he still has his Sunday Afternoon show, The Huey Show - Cool as a Cucumber (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ds8lp), but, the airwaves really need more talented radio DJs like him more regularly and widely available. Lauren’s cute ‘n’ all, but at times her selection does seem to be plugging more pennies into the wannabee contemporary Cure jukebox than anything else. Yes, Huey’s about my age, so our tastes are bound to’ve trodden the same patch of grass before, but, even when he plays stuff I don’t necessarily like, I stick with it, safe in the knowledge that good ol’ Morgan will soon facilitate my need for hip hop, funk and reggae blissfully blended with higher esteem held hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and two-thousand’s. It’s surely not much to ask for, is it?

If you know of such shows hit the JEM team up.
