Last Sunday we ventured down to Western House to meet all the lovely people on the Cerys show and see the Colman Brothers do their first live radio session.

Performing versions of The Chief and El Nino live in The Hub, plus having a little chat with Cerys about how they got into their instruments and their style of music.

You can listen again to the live segment of the show here: Colman Brothers’ Cerys On 6Music session

And until Sunday you can hear the whole show again, including music from Henri-Pierre Noel: Cerys On 6 Music Show – Colman Brothers live in session.

While the Brothers are busy rehearsing for their debut gig at Koko supporting none other than Quantic and His Combo Barbaro, I have been tasked with getting this new Influences Mix up.

I’ve got to say, this is my favourite yet! No offence to Andrew of course.

Is there some one-upmanship going on between the Colman chaps? If there is a competition starting up I wholeheartedly encourage it in the name of all us fans as it can only get more and more interesting.

Dive right in to this amazing third part. KNOCKOUT! And don’t forget to check out the other parts at http://www.colmanbrothers.co.uk
