  • Lauren Laverne 6 Music Session

    Jimi & Martin played a couple of tunes this morning for 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne. Jimi again spoke about the hiatus Doves will be taking after touring the Best Of. Asked of his own plans, Jimi hoped to be able to do some collaborating, naming Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis as the top pick if it was possible! Good luck with that one. 🙂

    They performed acoustic versions of The Cedar Room & Kingdom Of Rust.

    To hear the interview/live tunes. It all starts off at 1 hour 25 mins at the BBC iplayer here. Also available to folks outside the UK.
    My take on the “hiatus”? Its gotta be good news, if it means Doves do return in a few years down the line sounding better than ever. To put it in context.. it was almost three years between the last Some Cities gig I saw and the Kingdom Of Rust shows last May. Didn’t expect much from them this year, so the tour/summer of festivals has been a Brucey bonus. Fully intend on enjoying the tour in a few weeks. So no tears at the front from this blogger, just a hand of appreciation.

  • 6 Music Album Of The Day

    The Places Between: The Best Of Doves is 6 Music’s album of the day.

    Also on 6 Music: Next Tuesday Doves will be performing a live session on the Lauren Laverne show, which airs from 10am. Cheers to Baldilocks at the forum for the info.

    Of course in the future, all this may not be possible…

  • Absolute Radio Live Session

    Doves will be performing a live session on Geoff Lloyd’s Hometime Show, to air next Tuesday December 8th at 7pm on Absolute Radio.

    Also on Absolute Radio, Dave Gorman states on his twitter that he is to interview doves on Friday, no word on when this will air. But you can tweet him any questions you have for the band.
