BBC Radio 2 - 6 on 2, 6 on 2: Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker weaves together a hand-picked selection of music and spoken word.

Jarvis Cocker weaves together a hand-picked selection of music, drawing upon a record collection that includes classic artists and under-the-radar talent as well as spoken word.

Jarvis Cocker, the Sheffield-born Pulp frontman, turned solo star and author, began hosting his Sunday Service on BBC 6 Music in January 2010 and won the Sony Rising Star Award just four months later. 

An all-embracing enthusiast, Jarvis dips into the BBC Archives and draws upon a record collection that includes classic artists, lesser-known vintage treats, under-the-radar talent, as well as spoken word. He also interviews favourites from across the cultural spectrum, including musicians, artists, writers and directors. 

It's all part of 6 on 2, showcasing some of the rich programmes available on BBC Radio 6 Music, which was named UK station of the year at the 2012 Sony Radio Academy Awards. You can catch Jarvis' weekly service on Sundays from 4pm.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
