BBC 6music Funk and Soul show presenter and Red Dwarf actor Craig Charles was at Jersey Live 2009.
BBC Jersey Introducing’s Ryan Morrison grabbed him back stage and asked for his advice for new bands starting out.
I really want a hat like that.

Jersey Live 2010
Rapper Tinie Tampah is the first act to be announced for the 2010 Jersey Live music festival.
The rapper, who went to number one with single Pass Out shot to fame rapidly in 2010 with airplay from the likes of Chris Moyles, Tim Westwood, Annie Mac, Reggie Yates and Zane Lowe.
More acts are expected to be announced soon for the festival which is once again taking place in the first week of September at the Royal Jersey Showground in Trinity.
He’s only a teenager but Isaac Evans has a unique quirky folk voice and this song, Premonition, recorded at the Big Tease at Jersey Live 2009 for BBC Jersey Introducing shows it off really well.
As well as the voice he also has a mature songwriting style for his age.
Advice from Frank Turner at the 2009 Jersey Live music festival for bands just starting out. Including a confession of a song he had written that was completely discarded because ‘it sounded like Coldplay’.
Filmed by Jersey Live - it’s The Whip at the 2009 Festival. I thought this one would be worth sharing as we head towards the announcements of the acts playing the festival in 2010. Who was your highlight from 2009? Jersey Live 09 - The Whip ‘Blackout’ (via JERSEYLIVEFESTIVAL)
