A LIVE & LOUD video clip of "Hearts Racing" from the very first Better Than The Book full-band rehearsal + I NEED YOUR HELP for "And I Fear"'s potential radio debut tonight on Union JACK Radio!
Hi everyone and another LIVE and LOUD video clip to share with you today from Better Than The Book's first full-band rehearsal + I NEED YOUR HELP for tonight's radio show on Union Jack Radio where “And I Fear” could be making its radio debut (more on that in a moment)!
Starting with the video clip, this time it's "Hearts Racing" (again) and again this would have been the 2nd time ever that we'd have played this song together as a full band. It's still a little rough around the edges, but I think you'll enjoy the step up in energy since the small jam meet-up previously! Check it out!

Onto the radio show news, if you hadn't heard yesterday on social media, "And I Fear" from Better Than The Book's Hopes and Dreams album made the Underdogs show shortlist and so COULD be making its radio debut tonight (Wednesday) at 7pm (UK time) on Union JACK Radio! If it plays, that would make 8/10 tracks from the Hopes and Dreams album to have made onto the radio worldwide, which would be phenomenal!
The trouble is, it's only a 1 hour show and so listeners must vote to push the tracks they want up the playlist during the show to ensure they get played, which means if we're going to make this happen we've gotta tune in and vote for Better Than The Book's And I Fear on the playlist tonight when the show goes live at 7pm! Hope you can make it for the show, many thanks in advance, and you can tune in and vote for Better Than The Book's "And I Fear" here when the show goes live at 7pm:
Come listen to some great upcoming British music and let's make it 8/10 tracks from Hopes and Dreams to make it onto the radio! That would be awesome!
That's it for today's update, and I'll be back this time next week with another video clip and more $5 Patreon rewards if you don't hear from me before! Looking forward to it and until then, thanks as always for supporting Better Than The Book, Jabun and my various music projects! Hope you can make it tonight and take care :)
EDIT:
We did it folks! "And I Fear" just had its radio debut half an hour ago which makes 8/10 tracks from the Hopes and Dreams album to have made it onto the airways! Thanks so much for all the BTTB love!
