BBC 6 Session LIVE With Tom Robinson

On Friday the 29th Jan of this year Tom Robinson from BBC 6 kindly invited to us to come and play live on his show. We were very chuffed and so accepted the invitation gladly and swiftly made our way to the BBC building on Great Portland St.



Ofcourse swiftly still didnt stop everyone being late. Charlie's van broke down, Olly couldn't get out of work, Mark got shot(again), Martin had to iron his shirt - Bob broke down. The only one on time was Ian. Luckily the La Roux session going on next door over ran and we had time to setup ---

but the problems weren't over Mark's casio tone went mental and got stuck on the Bossanova setting during soundcheck!



After pushing several buttons and trying to understand the inner circuits of the casio device Olly fixes it the Italian way.



With the Casiotone problem solved the Laurels leave their experimental sounds to a more groovey warm up/soundcheck



A few name pronounciation lessons ......



And the session finally gets going!



Big Thankyou to Tom Robinson for having us and Ian for getting there on time (and thankyou to Russell).
