6 Music Recommends Day: All New Music All Day

Fifteen hours of new music with exclusive first plays, live sessions and playlists.

Shaun Keaveny kicked things off at 9am with Guy Garvey's new track Open The Door

Followed by an exclusive first play of Bat For Lashes

The eagle-eyed among you noticed that we didn't get things *quite* right but there was no turning back...

Hopefully we managed to atone for our sins with 15 solid hours of new music and exclusive first plays from Teenage Fanclub, Metronomy, Beyond the Wizards Sleeve and DJ Shadow featuring Nils Frahm...

If 15 playlists of new music and exclusive first plays wasn't enough, we brought you not one but two live sessions.

First, a new exclusive track from Michael Kiwanuka who performed for Lauren Laverne in the second hour of 6 Music Recommends Day:

What we do in life, echoes in eternity

Wasn't bad having the man behind one of cinema's most rousing speeches extending his efforts to the new music scene either...

So much new music can be a little bit disorientating. Especially when Cerys comes on at noon.

Eight hours into our 15 hour new music marathon Spring King played the as yet unreleased title track from their forthcoming debut album Tell Me If You Like To for Lammo

Sorry, this clip is not currently available

Watch Spring King get loud with a brand new track in the 6 Music Live Room.

Steve Lamacq continues 6 Music Recommends Day with a session from Spring King.

To the listeners who stuck around for 10 hours of new music only to find we were still making the same mistake...

... What can we say? We promise we'll do better next time. You're lovely for putting up with us.

We'll leave you with our last one, for old times' sake.
