"Down The Line".The innovative, spoof Radio 4 phone in show was awarded Radio Comedy of the Year, on the 20th March 2007, by the Society of UK Journalists.

In October 2006, following the success of his debut album Pianophernalia (Transcopic), musician and entertainer Louis Vause will be releasing his second album Mechanicatastrophe via idiosyncratic High Coin label. --Louis has finished contributing to new tracks for Graham Coxon at Olympic Studios in Barnes. The album - as yet untitled - is the follow up to the critically acclaimed 'Happiness in Magazines'. Should be out later this year or early 2006. From what he has heard this sounds even better than that and certainly Graham is 'exceedingly pleased'. Stephen Street is producing once more.Technical hitches have delayed the release of the new DVD, 'Boogie and Blues - The all new Beginners Guide' . Will keep you updated as these are resolved.Slovakian Radio have emailed Louis saying they love "Pianophernalia' and would like to do a feature on him early in 2006. Louis plans to visit the country some time this year.--(2004): 'Pianophernalia' is being used on Radio 4 on Monday 15th March in a play at 2.15 in the afternoon called 'Harry in the Underworld' starring Richard E. Grant which is a bit of a thrill.Louis contributed his keyboard skills to the the recording of the new album by Graham Coxon to be released in May with a first single due out at the end of February. He thinks (as do those in the know) that this is Grahams best so far. Stephen Street has produced it with the same attention to detail that he has lavished on Blur and Morrissey in the past.Louis is currently working on material for a new album - some piano solos and some pieces that will require a band.The band and Louis will play their first two gigs in May:Sunday afternoon - the 9th - at The Fiddlers Elbow, Prince of Wales Road, NW5.The Brighton Festival - Tuesday lunchtime (the 11th, 2004).If all goes to plan recording will commence shortly after that.--2003 saw The Louis Vause Orchestra make an appearance in the forthcomingParamount Picture, 'Alfie', with Jude Law taking the title role.A very exciting commission, Louis formed a twelve piece swing band especially for the job. Lets see how much footage is salvaged from the cutting room
