Ed Sheeran - XFM Live Session

Following on from his session for Zane Lowe the other night, Ed Sheeran dropped into the Manchester based XFM studio to perform 5 tracks; including A-Team, UNI, Wake Me Up, Wayfaring Stranger & You Need Me. As Ed said himself, it's refreshing for a radio station to let him perform a small set, rather than squashing him in to a small booth to do just one or two tracks. Below you can hear one of the best performances of You Need Me that he's done, and you can download the entire session HERE. Onwards & upwards.

David Stewart v Ed Sheeran - The A-Team

Here is the latest edition in David Stewart's series of covers. This time round he has tackled the exceptional A-Team, which is out in less than a month's time. David had to make it his own, and that is exactly what he did, producing an brilliantly unique twist on what is likely to be one of THE songs of 2011.

Wretch & Example performing their collaborative single to a relatively small crowd at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle. Still smacked it though, as always.

Bring It Back: The Life & Rhymes Of KanYe West

Back in 2005 superstar rapper KanYe West dropped into the MTV Base studio with DJ A-Trak to tell the stories behind the rhymes from his first two albums, College Dropout and Late Registration. Jay-Z did a ridiculous MTV Unplugged session, but for me this is the best live session that any rapper has ever done. This is the KanYe that I fell in love with 7 years ago and this is the KanYe that I will always remember. You can download all 11 tracks HERE and reminisce about how incredibly talented this man is.

Jamie Woon - Live on The Album Chart Show

Jamie Woon was on Chennel 4's Album Chart Show tonight, where he performed 3 tracks and had a chat, in which he gave some background knowledge on himself and the expceptional debut album, Mirrorwriting.

P.S. Channel 4 don't do embedding, so you'll have to watch it on YouTube.

KanYe West Live @ Coachella

Many people believe that KanYe's performance at Coachella was his greatest of all-time. For me I'm not sure anything will ever beat Jay joining him twice and the Manchester Apollo gig when College Dropout had just been released, but this was absolutely incredible, and you can download the MP3s HERE. A must for any KanYe fan. I still love him.

R. Kelly - When A Woman Loves (Live on Jools Holland)

Really didn't expect to see R. Kelly on Jools Holland this Tuesday, but that's where he was and that's where he was absolutely smashing the place to pieces. Exceptional vocals, as always. Nice to see he's still got it.

Ed Sheeran - Live on Jools Holland

After being given the Hottest Record In The World by Zane Lowe, Ed Sheeran dropped in to see Jools Holland last night where he performed his stunning cover of Jamie Woon’s ‘Wayfaring Stranger’. You can catch an extended version of the show on Friday @ 11:50pm where he performs two of his own tracks. So bloody proud of him.
