Loose Tubes live from Ronnie’s on Jazz on 3
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
Following their triumphant headlining appearance at Cheltenham Jazz Festival in May and their subsequent sold-out week at Ronnie Scott’s, Loose Tubes are set to feature in a special edition of Jazz On 3 to be broadcast on Monday 9 June on BBC Radio 3 at 11pm.
The programme features all four of their newly commissioned works for BBC Radio 3 – composed by Chris Batchelor, Eddie Parker, Steve Berry and Django Bates – all recorded during their recent residency at the club.
The programme, presented by Jez Nelson, will also feature new interviews with the band members reminiscing about some of their more interesting riders and the band's sometimes-questionable fashion sense.
Jazz On 3 recorded the Thursday night of their six-night Ronnie Scott’s residency and will be broadcasting much of it on Monday – there’s a taster of the music below in the form of Eddie Parker’s ‘Children’s Game’ (that first appeared on their third album Open Letter) – and the programme will be available for seven days after broadcast on the Jazz On 3 iPlayer Page here.
