Albatross! David Serves Up Seabird To Jools.
David
guests on the BBC Radio 2 Jools Holland show,
broadcast on Monday 10th November, and
in the process will perform Albatross
– the 1968 Fleetwood Mac instrumental,
as opposed to the Monty Python sketch.
David chats to Jools about the Live In Gdańsk
album and performs the song with Jools' rhythm
section.
The show is broadcast in the UK from 10.30 to 11.30pm,
and is available live via the Internet here,
but it should be available again via the BBC UK-only
iPlayer Internet function. If you still miss it, the
BBC have been granted permission to run the track
on their Web site, so look for it here
from Tuesday 11th November onwards.
