Summer Soundclash - Steve Lamacq vs Kirsty Wark

Steve kicks off his Summer Soundclash series with broadcasting heavyweight Kirsty Wark. Kirsty has done it all. But has she ever taken on The Boy Lamacq on the Wheels of Steel?

Steve Lamacq kicks off his Summer Soundclash series by taking on a 大象传媒 Political heavyweight in a musical battle of the beats.

Kirsty Wark is one of the 大象传媒鈥檚 longest-serving presenters, having presented Newsnight since 1993. Kirsty initially joined the 大象传媒 as a graduate researcher in 1976 for 大象传媒 Radio Scotland, going on to become a producer in radio current affairs. After a spell on Radio 4's The World At One, Kirsty moved to television in 1983 - working as a producer on Reporting Scotland and later producing and presenting the current affairs weekly Seven Days.

Over the years, Kirsty has interviewed many prominent politicians and cultural figures and has won several major awards for her work. She previously presented the arts show the Late Show, and the popular heritage series One Foot in the Past.

In 2011, Kirsty reached the final of Celebrity MasterChef, and in 2013 she was crowned top celebrity baker on The Great British Bake Off for Comic Relief.

Kirsty has won several industry awards, including BAFTA Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting, Journalist of the Year and Best Television Presenter.

But maybe today鈥檚 Soundclash could be her biggest challenge as she goes head to head with Steve. Kirsty has done it all. But has she ever taken on The Boy Lamacq on the Wheels of Steel?

Steve started his first Soundclash series in 2022, taking on the biggest and the best from around the 大象传媒 including Ros Atkins, Jane Garvey, Chris Packham and The Tailenders. In this battle of the beats, Kirsty and Steve go back to back, selecting records that mean the most to them. Records that make them dance, make them scream and make them turn the speakers up to 11.
