"Present: Lewis' Maida Vale Session on Gilles Peterson's WorldWide Show

Beginning January 22, 2003 (midnight to 2 am), Lewis' session at BBC's Maida Vale studios will be broadcast on Gilles Peterson's WorldWide show, BBC Radio 1. This broadcast will be available every night for a week - enjoy!

Here's what Phil Mulford, bass player in Lewis' band, had to say about the session:

Hi All,
We recorded a Radio 1 Session on Saturday for the Gilles Peterson Show 'WorldWide' which is Broadcast this Wednesday at Midnight. We recorded Shame, Lovelight, Stoned and Lucky. It was great fun playing with Lewis again. The Band vibe is getting stronger and this was recorded straight down, no overdubs. The version we played of Lucky actually carried on longer than you will hear as Broadcast, as we were just having a great time! I'm looking forward to the three nights at the JC. Gavin Harrison is playing drums on the Gigs, another really fine drummer and a great musician. Please come up and say 'Hi' at the JC, 'may the groove b with u',
Phil Mulford"
