BBC Radio 4 session

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Broadcasting House to play a live track (the new single from I am Harlequin: Onesome) on the BBC Radio 4 show Loose Ends, hosted by Clive Anderson.  The lovely ladies doing sound made everything very easy for us setting up, and I was surprised to be in what was quite a large studio, furnished with a Steinway grand (of which Jonny made full use).

The guests (sat at the table across from us) were Sean Bean, Jason Donovan, John Sergeant and Claire Foy, and it was a privilege to see the The Civil Wars performing Barton Hollow for the show as well!  I mean, I am Harlequin have around two thousand Facebook 'likes', but The Civil Wars have around two hundred thousand!  Needless to say, they were superb (as well as being really down to earth).

There are some more photos taken during our setup and sound check available on my Flickr account, but here are just a couple:



Finally, I have to give a special mention for the BBC bacon sandwiches, which were amazing.
