Download & Listen Again: Olly on BBC6 Music Jon Holmes

Stefan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:30:03 +0000

Olly joined BBC 6Music show Jon Holmes for the light-hearted quiz Ken Brucemaster (instead of BBC Radio 2 Ken Bruce’s Popmaster, a quiz Olly has been a guest on as well). Olly talks about the new album as well as his mother in law and her clothes so let’s hope for him this radio segment hasn’t resulted in a family crisis… The whole thing ends with an airing of Sea Change, which is out on the 22nd.

Listen again here (it starts after one hour and a couple of minutes) or download the Turin Brakes related bit from Rapidshare (click on free and if a countdown starts wait for it to finish).

Turin Brakes thank Take That for album

If you’re a frequent reader of this website, you may already know Turin Brakes wrote Here for Take That. BBC 6Music has now run a news story on the matter:

“We took that money that we made off that song and reinvested it in our studio and this album,” revealed Olly. “So technically, you know, without Take That…I don’t know if we’d have a Turin Brakes album.”

“I’m not going to say we made a huge amount but we made enough money to cover a few debts that we’d built up over a couple of years of not being signed. We had to find some money from somewhere. Neither me or Gale have made enough money to sit back and relax by any stretch, so we have to find money. It is about that.”

Full story here.

Also, Olly will be on Jon Holmes show for the Ken Brucemaster Quiz after 5 pm (UK time) today.

Olly on 6music’s roundtable

Stefan — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:10:47 +0000

Together with Huey from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Holly Walsh (comedian), Olly joined Steve Lamacq on the BBC 6Music roundtable. On the show, the guests listen to new music and then talk about it. Olly was also asked about the new album. It’s a nice listen, especially if you decide to play the “spot the chatroom comment by the webmaster of this site’ . Seriously though, the program is available for a week here (thanks for the link, Shazia).

Shaun Keaveny session coming up

Stefan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:44:04 +0000

BBC 6Music’s breakfast show (hosted by Shaun Keaveny) played host to Turin Brakes in September 2009 and they’re doing it again this week. Since Monday, single The Sea Change is ‘single of the week’ (which means it gets played everyday for the whole week). Even better though, on Friday the band will be in the studio and “they’ll be bringing their guitars’… So that’s something to look forward to, then!

The Sea Change is the debut single from Outbursts and will be released on 22 February 2010.
