Songbook: Ian Broudie


Ian Broudie is the force behind The Lightning Seeds (well, he basically isThe Lightning Seeds), and has produced a lot of wonderful music for around three decades. This upload is a bit of an experiment, as it's a video file of a recently aired (in the UK) tv show. If that's not ok for this blog, no problem and we can/will delete it - but I thought it might be cool as material from Broudie is kind of hard to come by. There's the Lightning Seeds catalogue of course, and a few other things he's done (including his one solo record), but those should be attainable via convential sources for the most part. The format of this show is basically an interview mixed with acoustic and/or stripped down versions of songs played by the songwriter. There was another show in the same series that aired recently with Jarvis Cocker which was also awesome. I originally downloaded this from a torrent site that caters to UK tv shows, and the file is just under 400mb, so I had to split it into archive parts. So you'll need something that can reassemble .rar files if you wanna grab this. The first three parts are just under 130mb each, and the fourth part is just under 7mb. Hopefully there's enough interest for one or two people to check this out, but I've never done this wth a larger file (or video file for that matter) so I thought I'd give it a try here. Enjoy!
