Radio
Five Live聮s Soundtrack to the World Cup
Radio
Five Live blends music with football to present the complete World
Cup soundtrack for listeners this summer. DJ Spoony, Mark and Lard,
Steve Lamacq and New Order add to the station聮s traditional
live commentary, with programmes that take a wider look at the tournament
that rocks the world.
Rock
'n' Roll World Cup hears Steve Lamacq in conversation with top musicians
who have a consuming passion for football. Over the two programmes
Steve and his guests reminisce on their favourite football songs,
aspirations for their teams during this year's World Cup and their
personal plans for experiencing the big matches.
Five
Live will also play host to DJ Spoony as he meets an array of footballers
in a new series of DJ Spoony Meets.... Through his encounters with
some of the stars of The Republic of Ireland and England World Cup
squads, he'll be touring their mansions, nosing through their wardrobes
and checking out their cd collections.
Mark
Radcliffe and Mark Riley are also on board, offering their own take
on football's heroes in Mark & Lard's Top Teams. Each week they'll
be aping the pub games that footie fans have played for years down
at the local, poking fun at football and footballers. They'll be
picking unusual squads, from their top eleven players with the worst
hair-cut, through to those who never lived up to their fathers,
and even the biggest World Cup flops.
Additionally,
Radio Five Live has had the honour of having had its World Cup theme
specially composed by New Order. Such A Good Thing has been produced
by New Order and Steve Osborne.
Moz
Dee, Commissioning Editor, Sport, Radio Five Live said: "Five
Live already provides the best commentaries on radio. Using its
real expertise, it gets football fans right into the stadiums. This
new programming shows that the World Cup is about fun as well and
will add another dimension to our World Cup programming."
