Unfortunately, the station manager who&#8217;d given us the go-ahead to film had forgotten to tell the duty manager.  Things didn&#8217;t seem to be going our way.<\/p>\n<p>But making Shoot the Player films has taught us that persistence and faith usually pay off.  With a little cajoling we reassured the duty manager that we had a tiny crew and even less equipment, we wouldn&#8217;t take long and we wouldn&#8217;t go near the edge of the platform &#8211; finally we were allowed to shoot.  And when we got back to the club, the band&#8217;s enterprising manager had found guitars.  <\/p>\n<p>So we all gathered on one of Central&#8217;s quieter platforms, waited for a noisy train to leave, and filmed this live version of Dust Devil &#8211; which the band told us they&#8217;ve never done acoustic before.
