S4 EP4: Bat for Lashes with James Benge

Letters to our daughters and our editors alike in this episode, as Ivo comes face to face with the train that crashed his heart, Oxstu music czar 2010 (and CBS Football correspondent 2024) James Benge. You might not need to know in real time when Stephen Fry is scratching his arse, but there’s some solid glasnostalgia about Tinie Tempah, Alphabeat, Pure Reason Revolution and other people we (James and Alex) interviewed when they were just kids in the dark, alongside their more recent trip (Ivo absent once more) to watch Natasha Khan dreaming of Delphi at the Barbican, alongside some pool-pooers who make Alex tear his luscious hair out.

Seated or standing? Support band or drinks? Sing along as loudly as possible or watch in respectful silence? These are the dilemmas that have plagued Ivo and Alex - stand up comedians by night, gig pigs by night off - over a decade and a half of watching live music together and it’s time to start opening them up to the floor. Join them every Thursday to find out who they’ve been to see live this week, and which guest they roped along for the ride. 'Gig Pigs' with Ivo Graham and Alex Kealy. A Keep It Light Media Production
