The Beth Ditto ShowAvailable for 29 days
Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! The spirit of Dolly Parton runs throughout the show, with music from her gospel singer mother Avie Lee, tracks about Tennessee, and some classic country selections. Elsewhere in the show, Beth brings you music from Thelma Houston, Tina Turner, Sade and Mazzy Star. Her Matter of Life and Beth comes from an artist famed for playing his guitar with only one string, and her Caffeine Kick comes big and bold with tracks by Rihanna, Zapp and Dazz Band. If you have any requests for the Caffeine Kick, or you’d like to get in touch with the show, send an email to bethditto@bbc.co.uk. Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
