#Prince6Music - A Prince-Inspired Playlist

With the nation on #PrinceWatch, Tom Robinson invites 6 Music listeners to help create a Prince-inspired playlist driven by social media.

With the nation on #PrinceWatch, Tom Robinson invites 6 Music listeners to help create a Prince-inspired playlist live during the show, driven by social media.

His Royal Purpleness has been keeping UK fans on their toes by announcing via Twitter a spate of last-minute guerrilla gigs with his latest project 3rd Eye Girl - sending the online world into a frenzy.

Throw in an unconventional press conference (in the front room of his musician pal Lianne La Havas) together with a much-hyped BRIT Awards appearance AND rumours of a Glastonbury headline slot this summer... and a special playlist in honour of this inimitable music icon is The Law.

Listeners can pick from his genre-spanning back catalogue, a host of collaborators and influences, plus any other interesting connections they can think of for this special playlist.

Send suggestions via the hashtag #Prince6Music on Twitter as well as the usual other contact methods.
