Amy McDonald's live performance. Courtesy of Ian S.


Amy Macdonald understandably made the most of the 'consistently warm reception' she received in Germany last year, clearly enjoying performing live, as we can hear on two specific gigs she along with her excellent band, had recorded for German radio networks. She also made a number of promotional appearances for both TV and radio in Germany, and was filmed in Berlin towards the end of 2008. These particular recordings have been circulated as 'The German Radio Broadcasts 2008 (FM)' either on double CD or as FLAC files on a few file sharing forums.
