Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy is to front a new 12-part series for BBC Radio 6 Music.
Cillian Murphy’s Limited Edition, a series of two-hour programmes, launches on Monday 19th October on 6 Music (12am-2am).
Murphy will curate his own nocturnal playlist featuring genres ranging from afrobeat to electronica, jazz, spoken word and poetry, as well as artists including Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
The series, to be produced by Angela Davies, will also be available on BBC Sounds.
Murphy said: “Over the last few months, radio in general, and 6 Music specifically, has kept me going, so it’s lovely to be able to give something back in the form of these shows.”
Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music, added: “We consider Cillian part of our family, so it’s a joy to have him back home on 6 Music. His passion for music is inescapable, his story telling sublime and I know he will make Sunday nights very special for 6 Music listeners.”
