Happy Birthday Maida Vale...
I absolutely loved Friday's show - so many incredible live tracks from the last 75 years of the BBC's Maida Vale studios. The Cure, The Strokes, Bloc Party, Joy Division, Roni Size, The Police and many more. If you didn't hear it, you should, you'll love it. Have a listen here.
A lot of people text in confused as to what Maida Vale actually is - fair enough. It's a complex of 7 BBC studios where some of the world's biggest acts have performed. It's home to the BBC's Symphony Orchestra and where Jonathan Ross records FIlm 2009. Have a look here for more information
Fearne did her show live from Maida Vale and had Snow Patrol as her house band. They recorded a few tracks especially for the day.
