Oh, pity I can't see Sky Arts!
Interesting that Fran's singing Friends, the new songs are gradually coming out. I don't think he's going to wear thet Gerbil Sandwich outfit, though. |

Ooh I'll see if I can watch this. Thanks! :)
One way I'm happy he's doing Friends because its a new song but also disappointed because its my least favourite on the album. I suppose not many new songs would sound good acoustic. Look forward to it. :) |

So... any chance Sky are going to launch some kind of iPlayer equivalent between now and Thursday? lol. I think not. |

Was really, really good! And Fran you played a little bit of a really early song you written and you said that when you played it to a friend he didn't believe you had written it. It sounded brilliant Fran!!! Why isn't it a Travis song?! Put it on album 7, it sounded really good. :)
Oh and loved the performance of Friends. But you really need to record that other song! Haha.
Oh and I don't think 20 was shown. Can't remember it. |

Being, as I am, always late for everything, I finally sat down and watched this just now.
No, 20 wasn't shown, which was a pity. Really enjoyed hearing the anecdotes behind the songs. And what I really took away from the programme was Fran's positivity for the future.
Two small downers, Fran - were you a bit tense? Maybe a tad knackered: baby-related sleep deprivation? You seemed less than relaxed to me.
Also, I love "Good Feeling", but it didn't get the accolade it deserved, just a couple of mentions in passing :(
But I've now heard Friends for the first time, and it was all good fun and very lovely to hear this and Travis back catalogue material.... |

| I hope someone recorded it for people. I wouldn't have a clue how to get it onto the computer for a start you see. |

I'm sure I've written this before... :S
To get it on the computer, I write it to DVD and then import and convert to a better format for uploading to youtube. It's quite a bit of work, but worth it. If you have Sky, that is :( |

| I don't have a dvd recorder. Just the sky+ box. Sorry - otherwise, would have had a crack at it. |
