Well, DG and Chris overcame their jetlag mightily yesterday (mostly) for a packed and exhausting if exhilarating day. The five of us spent a long morning choosing tunes and working Chris into them, and then Karine was very patient with us all afternoon as we tried to engage tired musical brains with occasional success. A final run-through after Iain's excellent halibut, and we were off in cabs to the BBC and Late Junction, which was a lot of fun. You can hear the results here for a week or so: we're about 25 minutes in. Listen out for the complete degeneration of the tune 'Maggys covered arse' towards the end as Chris makes farting noises on the pipes. And the Laphroaig in paper cups from the production team afterwards was very welcome. Whew. Now back to rehearsals ...
