After wowing Tom Robinson with a live session on his BBC 6 Music show, he picked Straw Bear to appear alongside some of the UK’s most hotly-tipped new bands at the BBC Introducing Stage at Europe’s most prestigious new music festival, The Great Escape.
This is just another indication of Straw Bear‘s rapid rise to prominence – after local, national and now live national BBC sessions, and endorsement from huge Radio 2 DJs Whispering Bob Harris and Dermot O’Leary.
This recording was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on 20th May 2013.
