Rolling Stones guitarist to front weekly programme made by independent production company Somethin' Else

Ronnie Wood, the Rolling Stones guitarist, is to present a weekly show on rock music station Absolute Radio and its digital sibling, Absolute Classic Rock.


The Ronnie Wood Show, which will be produced by independent production company Somethin' Else, will broadcast first on the digital station on Friday evening and be repeated on Absolute Radio on Saturday night.


Absolute Classic Rock relaunched this week, branding itself the home of the "Great British Guarantee" with a playlist featuring the Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Rolling Stones.


"Ronnie will deliver a playlist that comes straight from his heart, playing music that he loves and is passionate about, all accompanied by his uniquely fascinating stories, experiences and memories and using his trusted guitar to illustrate elements of the tunes played and to accompany him," said Absolute.


The Friday show will launch at 6pm on April 9. The Saturday repeat will air at 10pm.


Tony Moorey, the Absolute Radio content director, said: "Think fantastic music, and one man and his guitar in your living room, but that man being one of rock's gods, Ronnie Wood. It's not often that we have a genuine opportunity to strike a radio relationship with a rock legend ... The Ronnie Wood Show is that opportunity."


It is the latest Absolute Radio show to be awarded to an independent production company, after Frank Skinner's Saturday morning show and Dave Gorman's Sunday morning slot, which are both made by Avalon.

Well hopefully that one will die a natural and long overdue death, and this one will take over ?

Great radio station.Ronnie Wood show

Thanks Edith,and crawdaddy for the link...



...hope Ronnie´s finally back on the health track.

I'm waiting... I loved Bob's TTRH... let's see.
despite all the comments... Ronnie's CV is astonishing... everybody from Beck to Dylan... he's been there in the 60s in Britain and 70s in the States... makes one wonder how the hell he missed 20s in the Mississippi delta I love the guy.

Cheers Tony, can't wait to hear this show.

Hopefully he does it for pleasure and not because he needs money!

I'm sure he's doing it for both...He may need the cash as jo took a lot with her and the Stones aren't setting the
world on fire touring!!!

what's the difference? for me, none.

I hope that he did not waste all of the money he made with the Stones, as he will not make that much money in the future!

he can easily earn some more - I'm glad he's remaining classy and doesn't take part in American Idol or anything of that kind

Good for Ronnie. Sounds interesting. He can tell some stories since apparently his autobiography came up a little short on substance. What is Absolute radio anyway? Is that anything to do with XM or whatever? Please advise.

Ronnie will alway be ok...He never really cared about money but always seemed to make it...
He makes money from so many places he will alway be in good shape..

Thanks for the heads up Edith Grove.

This sounds like it will be great - looking forwards to it.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

Another piece of good news. Thanks

I just want to hear his stories - I don't need a music scholar telling me why I should like a song. Perhaps you should get into the habit of trying to form your own opinions.

i don't need a music scholar telling me anything; i'm already scholar who has similar tastes to bob's. perhaps you should get into the habit of reading what is said before responding to it.
