Adam Buxton at the 6Music Festival

For the first time, since it was birthed 12 years ago, 6Music held a festival. A good proportion of the BBC has moved it's operation up to Salford so it made sense to hold the festival in Manchester.

Since Adam was instrumental in the very survival of the station, he was invited to perform in their fringe area and join Marc Riley for his Saturday evening show.

@shanedorrian3 The Fringe was terrific - John Cooper Clarke, Adam Buxton, Peter Hook... — Chris Hawkins (@ChrisHawkinsUK) March 2, 2014

This is Adam chatting to Marc Riley, Connan Mockasin and Nemone on 1st March show.



Here he is introducing The National - final act of the festival on Stage One.

Adam Buxton runs around The States like a March Hare.

I began an entry for March in my general Adam and Joe blog but there were so many lovely things about Adam's first 2014 trip to the States that it made the post look lumpy. I'm putting it all here and so that it can be contained in one tidy link on the other blog.

In preparation for the L.A. leg of his visit he wrote a letter to Marc Maron and exposed it to the intervwebs.

 I can't ignore the fact that he had a wicked meetup with ancient chums (stolen from his blog).

Adam and Joe question on Celebrity Eggheads #AdamAndJoe

At last, both teams seem to have heard of our secret heros and one of the Eggheads even knows a little bit about Joe's current status.

Thank you BBC iPlayer 31st December 2013.

.........and a very happy 2014 to you.
