At The B. B. C.

There is a new BBC Music show starting on Friday 4th November on BBC2 Scotland (i guess if you live in England, Northern Ireland or Wales, you'll be able to see it if you have Cable/sky) and running for six weeks. We were filming Suspended From Class last week for the show. It was a fun day, our only previous television appearances have been live Spanish television arts shows, so its nice to be doing something for UK TV.
Filming was done in two different locations, firstly in a warehouse down near Yorkhill, where all the live shots were filmed, and then we moved up to the Old Jail House in Bridgeton, which is, you guessed it, an old Jail House that has been converted/refurbished and is used for artist studios/band rehearsal space/gigs and warehouse parties. Indeed, Hip young gunslingers Frank Ferguson started off playing in there.
Unfortunately, due to heavy rainfall the previous night, the prison was somewhat flooded during our visit, and sensible boots were the order of the day. It was a bit like Porridge after a typhoon. If you listened carefully you could hear the voice of Fulton McKay giving it, "Get that mopped up at once Fletcher"
Anyway, we'll let you know when the programme with suspended from class is going to be aired.

Hey, we're only in England and we can't see it either. There was talk of streaming TV on the net - I guess we can only hope! Orynthia x
