Tom Robinson Tom Robinson | 01:00 UK time, Monday, 25 April 2011

On Easter Monday our studio guests the talented and personable Leicester duo The Daydream Club, Adam Pickering and Paula Walker who gave great interview - managing to be funny, forthcoming, eloquent and interesting all at the same time. They also gave us a link to a video of them performing their current single The Record Shop - in a record shop - for The Brixton Sessions.

Adam Pickering, Paula Walker and Tom Robinson

Our session tracks were recorded for Steve Lamacq at Maida Vale by The Severed Limb - a band who (we're told) still go busking at London's Borough Market every Friday. Bobby Friction was his usual funny and flirtatious slef with a hot tip from New York, while Ruth Barnes reintroduced us to the work of Chris East - last heard of under his nom de myspace of Winston Echo - in his latest lofi combo Anguish Sandwich.

Tom Robinson Tom Robinson | 01:00 UK time, Sunday, 24 April 2011

This Easter Sunday we picked up an Introducing Roulette tip from the show formerly (and more interestingly) known as The Friday Night Gerbil. The Telford duo Sexy Summers were recommended by Rob Fanner from the programme we must now learn to call BBC Introducing In Shropshire. And our Easter studio guest was illustrator, musician & writer Nathaniel Kidd.

Nathaniel Kidd & Tom Robinson share a joke in the 6 Music studios

Nathaniel too is in the throes of a name change - having recently abandoned his longstanding persona as Thee Intolerable Kidd, along with a shortlived replacement known as Thee Squids. The best place to get news of his future projects, he told us, was at http://twitter.com/TH33KIDD... Our session tracks meanwhile came courtesy of Masters In France recorded on storming form for Jen Long at Radio 1 Wales Introducing...

Tom Robinson Tom Robinson | 01:00 UK time, Sunday, 10 April 2011

This Sunday we met the razorsharp Brighton electro duo Soccer 96 ("The one name I really really didn't want us to end up with" moaned keyboardist Dan Leavers) and spoke to Reid Morrison from Treetop Flyers - outright winners of the 2011 Glastonbury Emergering Talent Competition last week. And our session tracks came from the mighty Leeds quintet Vessels, recorded live on my suppertime show a week last Friday. Dense, majestic and brilliant. Oh and DJ Target sent us an absolutely banging track as his 100% Homegrown download this week from the Newbury-based crew South Finesse, not remotely the kind of music you'd expect to be hearing from rural Berkshire. Click through and enjoy!
