Welcome to Cocker's Sunday Service Archive

Since 10th January 2010 Jarvis has presented a weekly radio show on BBC 6 Music. As well as Jarvis' eclectic musical selections, his show often includes interviews with people involved in the arts. Regular features include 'On This Day', notable births and events from this day in history which guide the playlist. And 'Are They Any Good?', in which listeners are invited to recommend tracks by artists who have yet to win Jarvis over. In May 2010 Jarvis won the Sony DAB Rising Star Award for his show. The award was decided by listener votes.
