Living legend Iggy Pop played The Roves single ‘Hey Little Man’ on his ‘Iggy Confidential’ show on BBC6 Music last night, kick starting the show no less! Iggy went on to give his personal feelings on the track which were pretty on point and cool to hear, especially in his distinctive drawl. Check out the show here… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000d1lz
‘Hey Little Man’ also appeared on Gideon Coe’s show on Monday 6th Jan making it the 3rd time he’s played The Roves since the single came out in September. Check the show here… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000czjn
