Black Affair played a live session on BBC 6 Music last night (Mon 28th July 2008 at 7pm) on the Marc Riley Brain Surgery Show. The show was hosted by Rob Hughes in Marc Riley’s absence.

Steve played 3 songs live – being joined by Jamie and Danny from The C90s (Steve revealed he met The C90s when they messaged him via MySpace about a remix, and they’ll now be playing with Black Affair on the road – see here for Black Affair tour dates).
