Gig report: The British IBM @ Q Radio, Birmingham

Band: the British IBM
Venue: Q Radio Session at Q/Kerrang Offices, Birmingham
Date: 06/02/13
Audience: Hard to tell, what with it being a pre-recorded radio broadcast
Set: Sugar Water, Animal, The British IBM, God's Front Porch
Notes: This was a bigger-than-normal gig for us today, and it felt like a real cracker. A fairly hassle-free journey to Birmingham, where we were playing in the offices of Q and Kerrang - it's a really nice looking space, well sized studio and we were well aware that this will potentially go out to thousands. Obviously it's all pre-recorded, so not too pressured today, but we played well anyway - backed by our special guest cellist, Anna, who played on the album with us. The whole set up made us feel very comfortable, the studio itself enthusiastically run, and nice to meet our radio plugger in person too - someone who is working very hard for us at the moment. A decent day for the British IBM, and perhaps one that we needed after a couple gigs this year that haven't been bad, but haven't exactly set the world alight, this was a goodun.
