The Archers Incident
I got a text last night from my friend Deirdre.
"I'm listening to Radio 4 news at 7 and Undertones Wednesday Week bursts in from Ö÷²¥´óÐã 6 Music on my non DAB Radio !!! It's still playing !!"
She likes exclamation marks, does Deirdre !!!
That's when I discovered that our band was in the middle of what was thought to be guerilla broadcasting on behalf of the Save 6 Music Campaign. It turns out it was just someone pressing the wrong button, but it made several of the more excitable broadsheets' internet sites. I must admit I didn't realise it was so newsworthy until I was sent a link to the this morning. The comments underneath certainly bring you back to earth.Ìý Someone called Ymhos said "Enlighten your overseas readers. Who are the Undertones?"
Another comment , from Nancy NooNoo put it like this "I was on R$ at the time. They could have picked some decent music for the time of the hijack. That was never going to win over anybody."
Thanks for that. What's Radio $ anyway ?
But the last word goes to the wonderfully named 'Bingo Chuffy'.

"I bought the single of Wednesday Week on the strength of the B-side (I Told You So) which is much better. Wednesday Week? No, Wednesday Weak".
Got us there, Bingo.
