Radio 2 "Landed"

Feb 2nd (5 years ago)

I dropped a line to the Paul Gambaccini show on Radio 2 (UK) urging them to give Landed a spin.
I got a response below. Pretty impressed as it came from Paul Gambaccini himself!

Hi Jake,

Thank you for letting me know that Ben Folds has a new release. That's more than the record company did! I shall have to get on to them.

Best wishes,
Paul Gambaccini

bbc djs do often reply to emails I find.
I emailed the late John Peel about an EP I was planning to release and he wrote back saying he was looking forward to hearing it. he was the greatest dj the world has ever known
