The band will be performing their original music, which has had regular radio support from SWR2 in Germany and BBC Introducing Essex and Cambridgeshire. Their songs have also been featured in articles by Plastic Magazine (UK), Cage Riot Magazine (US) and discussed on the comedy podcast Chatabix.

Amy and Will will be joined by long time friend and collaborator Rory Hudson on the double bass for this performance, with new arrangements and interpretations for this trio lineup of Talkline.
