Yes yes y'all,
Really fun but very tiring few days here at the EC camp...
---EXCLUSIVE PLAY AND ACOUSTIC SET----
On Thursday we dropped in to BBC Leeds to appear on West Yorkshire's Raw Talent with Alan Raw as part of BBC Introducing. We came straight from mixing one of our brand new tracks and gave Alan the first exclusive play of 'Home'. Later on in the show we played an acoustic set 'Don't Stop', 'Rain', and 'Intoxicating'. We were really pleased with how the show went and we are grateful for the support that the BBC (in particular BBC Leeds) are giving us at the minute!
Listen to the show again here -

'Home' is played at 1hr5min and the acoustic set starts at 2hr8min. We will try and make the acoustic tracks available to download once the iPlayer link expires.
-----SUMMER SEND-OFF--------
Big thanks to everyone who came to our show at the University of Huddersfield. It was such a pleasure to see such a great mix of familiar and new face and, I'm sure you'll agree, that it was a brilliant way to kick off our summer tour. We love ya Huddersfield!!
-----RECORDING NEWS-----
After appearing on BBC Leeds we dashed back to the studio in Castleford where we have been recording our tracks. We officially finished mixdown at 2am Friday morning - phew! This has been a major undertaking for the band and we'd like to thank Steve Whitfield for recording us, and his endless supply of wasabi peanuts! Nice one.... keep your ears and eyes peeled for news regarding these recordings.
