7 Hertz from Leeds and D66 from Finland via Hamburg and Hackney played live on this week's show, putting in stirling performances. Though in many other ways quite different outfits, they both had epic cross-London journeys in common. 7 Hertz veer from sea shanty to polka in a very pleasing fashion. Lucy, one of their violinists, told us that when they played in Brixton on Friday night her 93 year old grandfather had travelled all the way from Epping Forest on the tube to see them - a journey that many a younger but fainter heart would baulk at. He said that her voice was 'Tender, almost vulgar': an album title if ever I heard one. D66 is a righteous and raucous one man garage band and made the journey from Hackney with all his gear in a Sainsbury's shopping trolley, which you can see in the picture. He swears that he was allowed to take it onto the number 38 bus. You can also see Ean in the picture paying homage and keeping the cymbal stand in place at the same time, such are the lengths we go to in order to ensure the best performances from our guests.
