Logo for 6 on 2 - Jarvis Cocker

The Pulp frontman turned solo star, Jarvis Cocker 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 music enthusiast, Jarvis draws upon a record collection that includes classic artists, lesser-known vintage treats, under-the-radar talent, and spoken word. He also interviews favourites from across the cultural spectrum, including musicians, artists, writers and directors. Highlights featured in this show include Monty Python legend Michael Palin recalling song writing; Kes and Looking For Eric director Ken Loach recollecting Cantona, while Pans Labyrinth writer and producer Guillermo Del Toro discusses gaming. It's all part of 6 on 2 as Mr Cocker turns Tuesday evening into a Sunday Service, weaving a hand-picked selection of strange music, opinion and tenuous links. You can catch his weekly service, every Sunday from 4pm, on BBC 6 Music.
