Snooker-Loopy Steve Davis To Become Music DJ

• 26th Apr 2011

In a headline that has you checking your calendar to make sure it isn't April 1st, former snooker world champion Steve Davis will host a prog-rock show on BBC 6 Music radio, it has been revealed.

Davis, 53, will stand in for Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, who is embarking on a July summer reunion tour. Steve commented: “I'll be playing music you never knew existed. Stuff from all over the world, music that can be quite complex. A melting pot of jazz, classical and rock, usually with a beat.

“I might delve into the psychedelic stuff from my schooldays, bands like Gentle Giant and Gong. I wasn't a Beatles fan, I had my ears opened by this magical period of music in the Seventies. It should be a very interesting alternative show, in line with my reputation.”
