Gig report: The Trevor Jones Band @ BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Cambridge

Band: The Trevor Jones Band
Venue: BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Cambridge
Date: 26/06/12
Audience: As always with radio, no idea, but it's a popular show - and I know for a fact my mum tuned in, as did our bassist
Sets: All I Am, Badman (plus interview and pre-recorded live version of 'Falling')
Notes: We were guests on Sue Marchant's excellent evening show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and played this one as a trio - Trevor, Bill and myself. It was really nice - Sue is really nice and easy to do a show with, I know it's her job but she really did make us feel so comfortable. Sometimes with radio gigs it can be a bit sterile - you're going out to an audience of thousands but all you can see is the other three or four people in the building. But this really worked, Trevor seemed more emotive than normal - there was a lot of passion, he seemed to go up a notch or two, and the songs worked so well in this environment. The interview flowed nicely too, just a really good session, that one.
