AH, SUMMER IN THE CITY. DRINKERS SPILLING OUT OF PUBS INTO THE DAPPLED EVENING SUNLIGHT; BOYS AND GIRLS SMILING GAILY AT EACH OTHER AS THEY FLIP-FLOP THROUGH THE PARKS; THE DISTANT SIREN OF A POLICE CAR SPEEDING OFF TO THE LATEST KNIFE CRIME…. BLISS. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE FIND SPECIAL ABOUT JUST SUCH A BALMY JULY EVENING? REACHING OUR 50TH BLACK CAB SESSION. IT’S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY GETTING HERE AND, TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST, WE FEEL DAMN LUCKY. IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH SOME OF OUR FAVOURITE ACTS AND, OF COURSE, IT’S BEEN A TREAT TO MEET LONDON’S CHIPPY, CHIRPY OCCASIONALLY BEMUSED CAB DRIVERS. BUT THE BEST BIT – HOPEFULLY FOR YOU TOO – IS THAT WE’RE NOT STOPPING HERE. NO WAY JOSE. UP OUR SLEEVE WE HAVE PLENTY MORE UNIQUE PERFORMANCES FROM THE WORLD’S FINEST ACTS. AS EVER, SOME YOU’LL KNOW AND SOME YOU WON’T. AS FOR NOW, WE’LL LEAVE YOU IN THE MIGHTILY TALENTED HANDS OF MIKEY ROCKS AND CHUCK INGLISH, AKA THE COOL KIDS. THE CLASSIEST LYRICAL MASTERS IN ALL ILLINOIS WERE OVER TO PROMOTE THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘THE BAKE SALE’ (AVAILABLE IN ALL GOOD RECORD STORES, RELEASED ON XL) AND FOUND TIME TO JOIN US FOR OUR LANDMARK SESSION. SO HERE THEY ARE WITH A SERIES OF SKITS DOCUMENTING THE LONDON SCENERY AND USING THE VERY CAB ITSELF AS AN INSTRUMENT. SO PLEASE ENJOY OUR 50TH SESSION. WITHOUT DOUBT, IT TRULY IS GOLDEN.
