Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on May 16, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Mary Anne Hobbs! May your day be filled with more beats per minute than a drum 'n' bass classic and brighter vibes than the neon lights of Glastonbury. Your weekend breakfast shows on BBC 6 Music have become as essential to our mornings as coffee—only far cooler.

From championing groundbreaking artists to curating unforgettable playlists that make even burnt toast taste better, you've truly mastered the art of waking us up gently yet brilliantly. Here's hoping this year brings you endless vinyl treasures, fewer early alarms (we can dream!), and continued success spinning life's soundtrack perfectly loud.
