Fiction on #Jools on iPlayer...

In case you missed Later With Jools live on Tuesday night, links below to the show on iplayer. The mighty Snow Patrol opened the show with ‘Called Out In The Dark’, followed by a smashing performance from The Duke Spirit ‘Surrender’.
Snow Patrol close the show with an epic performance of ‘This Isn’t Everything You Are’.

Extended show goes out on Friday night this weekend – spot any of the Fiction team (and that doesn’t include the bands, we’re not stupid) and tweet us @fictionrecords #jools and we will send you a surprise.

An evening in with Fiction

Even though its September it feels like bloody winter outside already  - get on that sofa tonight and watch the first in the new series of Jools Holland.
The Duke Spirit perform their latest single ‘Surrender’, followed by 2 new tracks from Snow Patrol. Magic.

p.s. look out for The Beard in the crowd, tweet us @fictionrecords #jools if you spot him, and depending how drunk we get on Jools’ unlabelled beverages we might send you a surprise in the post.
