Fazer's going to have his own BBC TV show

  • August 28, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

'Suck Yourself' hitmaker Fazer will host his own TV show on the BBC called Fazer's Urban Orchestra, which will involve Fazer finding people for an orchestra. They will come from 'urban areas'.

Explaining the show's slightly familiar premise to the Daily Mirror, he said: "I’ll be looking for really talented players that are under­priv­ileged. From violas, to violins… all the strings, per­cus­sion, brass, drums, everything like that."

"I’ll put together people that wouldn’t neces­sar­ily get the oppor­tun­ity to perform in a pres­ti­gi­ous place," he continued, "or even with a full orchestra, and create an urban orchestra which will really set me up for my tour next year."

If you're uncon­vinced about how enter­tain­ing this might be, then take heed: "It’s gonna be something to watch. At the end of the show, I want to be able to say, like in Gladiator: 'Are you not enter­tained? Are you not entertained?'"

The show will start filming next year.
