Crowds in London were largely indifferent this month as B-Side Baby spent one hour standing on the forth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other project.

He spent the hour presenting a live radio show on the world famous Roundhouse Radio during which he played an interview with the not-quite-as-well-known sculptor Antony Gormley and introduced a variety of musical and poetic acts from the Roundhouse who joined him in the square below. B-Side Baby was carried onto the eight metre high block of stone by a specially adapted forklift truck leaving him physically detached from the rest of the world for the next sixty minutes but able to communicate with the team on the ground via a wireless microphone. The radio show, a special edition of the fortnightly arts and culture show, Arts Attack, was produced by Jelly Baby (who DJs under the pseudonym of Kate Lamble). Jelly presented links from the ground, introduced guests and ensured that all the equipment worked smoothly. Jelly was not stared at by as many people as B-Side during the show, partly because she was not stood on a plinth but mainly because she was hidden under the massive pile of cables that were necessary to broadcast live from Trafalgar Square.

“It don’t remember very much about it,” said B-Side Baby (Plinthian 921) from the comfort of the ground, “When I was on the plinth I was so focussed on the radio show, what was coming up next, whether anybody would text in and so on, that my brain couldn’t take in anything else until we went off air. I seem to remember that I quite enjoyed it though.”

Bad Baby was also spotted in the square along with a mixture of excited, bemused and apathetic tourists and other members of the Arts Attack team, who are only a couple of drunken evenings away from becoming GGG members.
