Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil To Present Six-Part Radio Show

---

Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil has announced that he’ll be teaming up with BBC Scotland for a new six-part radio show that he’ll be presenting.

The weekly six-part show -titled “The Simon Neil Experience” – will kick off next Wednesday (June 9) at 10 pm, and will see the musician “explore his love of music and share tracks from artists that have inspired him as a musician and music fan”.

“It’s a pleasure to be doing The Simon Neil Experience with BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Sounds and I’m proud to present six shows that each explore a different style of music that I love.” Neil’s says. “Radio has been a big part of my life as a musician and music fan, and whilst we were not able to travel and share our music with the world, I wanted to share the songs, and artists, that have helped me through the last year, and more, alongside some very special guests that I am incredibly excited about.”

Gareth Hydes, who commissioned the series, adds “It’s fantastic to welcome Simon to Radio Scotland’s presenter stable with this new series. We are excited to be working with him and looking forward to hearing the music that has inspired him through the decades and the stories behind them.”

“It promises to be a must-listen for all Biffy Clyro fans but also for anyone interested in getting more insight in to what influences the front man of one of Scotland’s most successful musical exports.”

Biffy Clyro recently confirmed that they had finished work on their sister record to 2020’s ‘A Celebration Of Endings’.

Talking about it, Simon said “Originally it was going to be completely hand-in-hand, they do relate, but because we didn’t tour I ended up writing about seven or eight new songs for the album. Originally it was intended to be a few off-cuts from A Celebration Of Endings, but it’s basically brand new music now, we got wonderful new art and it’s kind of its own beast. The lyrics kind of correspond at certain points in the album… There’s lots of easter eggs for fans, but it’s a proper record.”

The band are also set to return to Donington Park next year to headline Download Festival 2022.
