Such terribly, terribly sad news today that Trisha Keenan of Broadcast has died after contracting swine flu and pneumonia.  Laura was a big Broadcast fan too, so I know she will be upset by this as well.  I didn’t actually see Broadcast live until the ATP Festival in 2010; in fact I have to admit I was somewhat late picking up on how talented they were, retrospectively getting their first 2 albums some years after they were first released.  They were a special band to a lot of people, and I know Trisha will be dearly missed. I will say no more, and let songs, videos and photos do the speaking.

Here is my favourite Broadcast song, Man Is Not A Bird

Here is a photo I took of Broadcast at the ATP Festival in May 2010

Here is a fine live TV performance by Broadcast

This is probably the best video/song combo available on Youtube to illustrate what a great band Broadcast were, and what a great voice Trisha had.

And finally, another photo I took of Broadcast at the ATP Festival in May 2010
