In 2005, Huw finally gained a national slot when he became one of the replacements for the late John Peel as part of the station's One Music strand, which was intended to keep the spirit of Peel's show going. Although One Music has now finished, Huw will still be broadcasting in a weekly late night slot. He also stands in for Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe whenever they're on holiday.
