The Short Description: I was in London, and was a guest on Iain Lee's call-in show on Absolute Radio. I chatted with Iain, and took song and idea requests from his listeners.

The Long Description: I was in England for 8 days to film an advert for T-Mobile. On 25th November 2010, I spent the day in Manchester, being filmed in the airport while playing piano and singing about thousands of random strangers as they came through the International Arrivals gate. That night, I flew back to London for Iain's radio show from 11pm to 1am. I didn't have time for dinner, so I quickly pounded a double-espresso and a large glass of wine at a restaurant across the street from the radio station. This video shows some of what happened next.

Iain Lee has a regular cast of characters who listen and call in to his radio show. Many of them have perhaps undergone some sort of voluntary neuropharmacological alteration. These people called in to chat with us, to request songs for me to play, and to suggest ideas and stories for my spontaneous lyrics.

Iain is a very sharp, very funny guy, and we hit it off immediately. This was one of the funnest evenings I have had in a long time, and was definitely one of the top highlights of my trip to England. Iain's producer, Eloise, keeps all of the technical details running smoothly, and serves as the witty co-host and switchboard operator with callers.

The video will look much better if you watch it at 720p resolution. I would ask that you always watch my videos Full-Screen and Loud.
