Cillian Murphy taking on Guy Garvey’s BBC Radio 6 Music show
Cillian Murphy will replace Elbow frontman Guy Garvey by presenting his BBC Radio 6 Music show.
Garvey, who hosts his own popular show on Sunday afternoons between 2-4PM, will be unavailable for the forthcoming few weeks as he returns to Manchester to finish the new Elbow record.
