21st January 2005 Ian Brown played a short acoustic set on 6Music on Wednesday (19th) (which you can listen to here). He was accompanied on (acoustic) guitar by Tim Hutton, who provided the distinguished trumpeting on single 'Time Is My Everything'. After a short introduction Brown launched in a perfect performance of the current single. A brief questions and answers session then followed, mostly centered around latest album Solarized. He finished the set with his current favourite 'Love Bug', which sounded unique without its usual horn-work.
