The boys put in what was probably their best live radio performance yet on the Janice Long show on Wednesday night.

Again praise poured in for Amsterdam from the listeners as the boys performed Taking on the World as well as two brand new songs The Lament and Class War in the Bedroom, both of which have been very well received.

The between song banter was also of the highest quality. You can listen again for a few days at www.bbc.co.uk/radio2.

Don’t forget this is the big weekend for any discerning Amsterdam fan as the boys play the world famous Mathew street Festival in a prime time slot of Monday afternoon at 3:45pm down at the Pier head in Liverpool.

Amsterdam will do a 45-minute sett. The boys stole the show last year so there is immense anticipation for this years event. A warm up show at the Red Lion venue in Ellesmere Port will take place the night before.
