The band received some brilliant news this morning when it was announced that new single Takin’ on the World had been playlisted on BBC Radio 2.

The radio mix of the track will be added to the ‘C’ list of the UK’s most-listened-to radio station from the week commencing October 3. You can see the new playlist at www.bbc.co.uk/radio2.

Meanwhile, Amsterdam will be doing a short acoustic show this Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm at the prestigious annual In the City music industry event, which this year is in Manchester.

The boys have been specially asked to do a 25-minute slot at South Club, 4a South King Street (opposite Kendalls) right in the middle of town.

The gig is FREE so if you’re in Manchester this Saturday afternoon pop along and have an afternoon drink with the band and toast their playlist success!
