Maida Vale
Hear Years & Years in session for BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens
Maida Vale performance saw the group showcasing three tracks.

London trio Years & Years last night visited Maida Vale for a BBC Radio 1 session with Huw Stephens.
The performance saw Olly Alexander, Mikey Goldworthy and Emre Turkmen run through three tracks, starting with the massive, chart-bothering new single ‘Desire’.
Years & Years also checked in for a quick interview with Huw. “It’s been a busy 2014. It’s still going, touring non-stop,” said Olly. Speaking about a forthcoming debut album, they told Huw “most of it’s been written. And maybe half of it’s done at this point. The finishing line is in sight.”
They performed ‘Desire’, ‘Take Shelter’ and the recently unveiled B-side, ‘Memo’.
