Zawe Ashton

Christmas Eve sees Zawe Ashton taking control of 6 Music's programming as one of our Wise Women to bestow us with mountains of wit, oodles of wisdom and stacks of the finest tunes

Across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, 6 Music's three Wise Women will bestow us with mountains of wit, oodles of wisdom and stacks of the finest tunes. They'll each present three hours of their favourite music, as well as selecting an evening's worth of programmes from the 6 Music archives.

On Christmas Eve we welcome Actor and Director Zawe Ashton to 6 Music. Zawe starred in the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's Wanderlust earlier this year and also recently starred in John Ridley’s 1970s political drama Guerrilla, opposite Idris Elba, Freida Pinto and Babou Ceesay. Before that, she appeared in Tom Ford’s critically acclaimed feature film Nocturnal Animals. In 2012, she was nominated for ’Best Newcomer’ for Carol Morley’s Dreams of a Life at BIFA and other notable screen credits include: Weekender, St Trinian’s II. Blitz and Dr. Who.

Zawe is also well known for playing the brilliant Vod in Channel 4's fresh Meat and she has also written a book which will be published in early 2019.

Zawe's programme takes on the theme of t a date night with the show split into 3 acts - a trip to the movies, a romantic dinner and then a some dancing. The music that she has chosen is inspired by those acts - expect music from The Cardigans next to Hanns Zimmer, some Childish Gambino and some Prince.
