Steve's last ever Friday Tea Time Programme

Steve Lamacq has decided to make a well-deserved change to his broadcasting career, and today is his final daily weekday programme after 20 years on 6 Music and 30 years at the ±«Óãtv.

Steve Lamacq has decided to make a well-deserved change to his broadcasting career. In the new year, he will begin a new weekly show on 6 Music, Steve Lamacq’s Teatime Session, on Monday afternoons between 1600-1900. So today is his final daily weekday programme.

Steve Lamacq says: "I love music and I love radio. Music radio has been my life for the past 30 years – and 6 Music has been my home for 20 years of them - and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But I have another life now which is very important to me. It’s been terrific doing six shows a week, but what with all the prep work for the programmes and the ever-increasing volume of new music to listen to, there’s not been nearly enough time left over for my family. And to be honest, after nearly 40 years at the coalface of new music, I think I need a bit of breather. Plus, there are other things I’m keen to do. Not least seeing if there’s a more practical role I can play in supporting the live music circuit and the venues across the country that I owe so much to. But of course, my heart still lives for discovering and nurturing new bands, so I’m really pleased that these changes mean I can stay at 6 Music, while allowing more time to go searching for emerging artists, who I’ll be channelling into the new Monday show. There’ll be live sessions, interviews, some amazing archive and fingers crossed, at some point, the future of rock and roll."
