Unsurprisingly the Cure - BBC Sessions has shot to the most looked at post on the blog, given the events of the last few days. Those in the UK have been well served by the BBC over Halloween with the broadcast of a session on BBC 6Music and a live performance in front of a small audience broadcast on BBC Radio 2FM.
This post is for those Cure fans that live outside the UK. The quality of the UK digital station BBC 6Music is higher in the UK than for those outside. I've recorded the live broadcast on BBC 6Music and present it here for Cure fans around the world.
