Further Information

After championing The Feeling's "Sewn", BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles went on to use the groups second release, "Fill My Little World", as the theme tune to his Breakfast Show. To celebrate the release of Twelve Stops and Home, the band's record company, Universal Island, took 120 British music journalists on the Eurostar to Paris for the day, where the band performed live in a restaurant. This was in recognition of the fact the band took their name from a Parisian bar name.

The single 'Sewn' reached number 7 in the UK charts in March 2006, followed by a number 10 hit 'Fill My Little World' in May 2006. This release spent 4 consecutive week at #16 and outsold the bands debut. 'Never Be Lonely' was released in August that year and became their third top ten hit, peaking at #9, where it stayed for 2 weeks.
