Trampolene have posted a video for Blue Balls & a Broken Heart.

The promo was made possible by band leader Jack Jones’ current double life as Pete Doherty‘s lead guitar player – as he’s explained to NME:

“I talked to Peter and the gang about filming a video for a new song of mine called ‘Blue Balls & A Broken Heart. I originally suggested doing it after the show in Lyon, so we could use the lighting and try to get everyone ballroom dancing, including the crew, but Peter had the idea of doing it during the show and getting the crowd involved.”

“Earlier in the day he had asked me to get some bits of equipment and a projector – I didn’t know why. I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out, but as we came back on for the encore, ‘Blue Balls And A Broken Heart’ played over the PA. Everyone slowed danced and waved.”

“I looked up and saw the projector showing an old family film of Peter’s grandparents ballroom dancing too. It was moving – I hope the video captures the magic of the moment.”

It’s taken from Pocket Album Five, which was released on November 25th and recorded again at Ray Davies’ Konk Studios.
