This week’s 7 O’clock Hoxton Bop saw us taking on the mammoth [but possibly waning] might of our national music awards, The Brits following rather a dismal host of nominations and winners at last week’s ceremony. Seems only fitting then to call together our East London alternative know-how and savvy to conjure up a far more fitting Best of British playlist. We were thinking more Breeders ‘London Song’ though than Billy Bragg as we see everything from English Rose, PJ Harvey and her homeland ode ‘Let England Shake’ to poet and patriot, Scroobius Pip’s ‘Great Britain’ making it onto the playlist.
But it wasn’t all witticisms and offbeat numbers that made it onto the airwaves though, oh no. We had a whole wealth of new music lined up from off kilter visual and musical artists, Beaty Heart as well as the ferocious and latest sounds from London noise-niks, Ice Sea Dead People.
