BIG SPECIAL - Live in 2024 | BUTCHER'S BIN, SHITHOUSE, I MOCK JOGGERS on 2 Meter Sessions

BIG SPECIAL are a band known for their intense sound—a powerful blend of heavy guitars, driving synths, and pounding drums—paired with darkly humorous reflections on mental health, social depression, and anxiety. Born from the introspection of lockdown, the group was reformed when longtime friends Joe and Cal reconnected after years apart. They explore the raw, honest realities of a nation in turmoil, blending personal experience and poetic insight with creative, eclectic music. BIG SPECIAL have received support from Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music, Amazing Radio, and BBC Introducing, and topped Brum Radio’s A-list for two consecutive weeks.

About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.
