As we reported earlier last week, Jarvis Cocker is taking a holiday from his BBC 6 Music Sunday afternoon slot and has a whole host of famous names keeping his seat warm.
The Kills’ Alison Mosshart is set to sit in for three weeks next month, but yesterday saw legendary punk-poet John Cooper Clarke take control of things.
He played the likes of Nico, David Bowie, Buzzcocks and even LA scuzz-punks FIDLAR. Listen to that here.
