Following his stint covering Jarvis Cocker's sunday show, Iggy Pop is to return to 6 Music with a weekly Friday night show.
The Stooges frontman will host a two-hour show every week between 7 and 9pm, with Tom Ravenscroft's show moving from 7pm to 9pm.
In a statement, Iggy Pop said, "Having sat in for Jarvis Cocker last year on BBC Radio 6 Music, I found myself realising how good it was for me. I hope it was good for somebody else too. So I'm gonna do it again this year, on early Friday evenings; what we call in the USA the 'happy hour'."
He added, "It's kind of an edgy point right at the end of the designated work week, and I'll try to play quite a bit of music that's new and stimulating mixed with very old classics from the blues and jazz masters of the 1920s through Fifties that are a little more moody. I'm gonna think of myself as a kind of atmospheric bartender. I'll try to do my very best."
Iggy first presented two shows on the BBC radio station back in December 2013, and then fronted a weekly Sunday afternoon show during Jarvis Cocker's year-long sabbatical.
