Live From Leicester Square
Sessions from the capital every Friday evening.
Every Friday Rhys And Eggsy go live to Leicester Square where a live guest will kick it out for your aural pleasure. This is where you can hear the latest session and check out the archive.
Each week, the GLC mainmen temporarily hand over the reigns to Dave Berry where he attempts to scale the heights of Chattmandu with a quick interview. Then, it's two bangin' tunes, a cover and that's it. Job done. Nice and tidy, like.
This Week:
Coming Up
Friday April 11 - Dans Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip
Friday April 18 - Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong
Friday April 25 - Hadouken
Friday May 2 - Get Cape Wear Cape Fly (TBC)
