Word was the BBC guys were connected with “Later with Jools Holland”, on which none of the bands I travel round the country to see ever get a look in.

It’s a gamble for Karnataka, and I hope it pays. I’d love to see bands like them get wider recognition without having to dumb down their sound and alienate their existing audience (Can you say “Pocket Watch”?)

I assume setting up a free gig like this hits the band in the pocket, but maybe it’s something other bands need to be looking at.
