We played a session at BBC 6music for the charmingly friendly Mr Tom Robinson on friday. You can listen again until friday here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00kh4d1

Terry Staunton gave us a great review in this month’s Uncut magazine – check it out on the “reviews” page…

We piled into our luxury tourbus (ahem) yesterday and headed off for the hallowed corridors of BBC Maida Vale for a session with the sharp-suited Mark Lamarr. It will be broadcast on Radio 2 on Friday 29th May and will be available for a week after that on the BBC iPlayer.

We played a few new songs, an old song and (for download only from the Radio 2 website) a cover of Garnett Mimms’ Northern Soul classic “As Long As I Have You”. We also engaged in a “show and tell” session with Mr Lamarr, talking about a few of our favourite records. He then cajoled us into a impromptu jazz/fusion jam which we sincerely hope is edited out of the final programme for the good of the listening public.

We’re happy to say that the great Don Letts played Country Dance over the weekend (the b side to Watch Her Walk Away, out next week). We’ve been doing OK for airplay, but a play from Don was most unexpected and welcome. Everything else was bass heavy…but then here comes us….Excellent.

…..Radio 2 tomorrow, let’s hope it goes well!

If feels like we’ve been tucked away in for a while so it’s nice to have the prospect of some more gigs and ‘radio action’ again…not to mention some reviews.

We’ve got a bunch of live shows and radio sessions coming up (Radio 2, 6, etc) and we’re also happy to report we should have some ‘column inches’ soon. We’ve been reliably informed that Q and Uncut will be running reviews of the new album and Mojo are ‘interested’ in doing so.

Our video should be ready next week in time for the release of the single (Watch Her Walk Away) on 25 May. …needless to say we’ll post it here as soon as it’s ready.
