After the last single ‘The Last of the Melting Snow’, winning BBC Radio 2’s Pick ‘n’ Mix feature with a record, landslide percentage of the popular vote to become Record of the Week, the new single from The Leisure Society is again up for nomination.
Please help by emailing radcliffe.maconie@bbc.co.uk and telling them that the single, ‘A Matter of Time’, is your favourite of the week’s selection. This kind of promotion is invaluable for us so we would be very grateful.
You can listen to all four tracks at Radcliffe & Maconie’s Pick ‘n’ Mix page.
