I'm on the radio!

I'm inordinately excited. My band - The Hoolivans - is on the radio. BBC Introducing. We've had some radio play after uploading a couple of songs and got asked in to do a session. First time playing unplugged, and a bit nervous, but I think it went ok.

I hope it's ok in this section, as it is about guitars. It's a Gretsch Setzer '99 by the way. There, that brings it back on topic

Well done! Hope it leads to great even greater things.

Cheers Mart. It makes all that bedroom noodling seem real all of a sudden.

Sounds good!
I've done a few live BBC radio sessions, scary aren't they?

It's amazing how much we rely on visual distraction to make us feel confident, but knowing that millions of people can hear you but not see you start your delicate acoustic guitar intro is one of the last things in my playing career which still makes me nervous.

Good luck, love the band!

I have been encouraging my students to get involved with this scheme too...

So when will we be able to see your Rig Rundown on Youtube then??
