This year has been a successful one for Wire, as the British post-punk veterans released their 12th studio album, Red Barked Tree and embarked on a series of tours. Early next year, the band will be looking back on their fruitful 2011 campaign with a live album called The Black Session - Paris 10 May 2011.
This live session was recorded for host Bernard Lenoir of Radio France, and it includes songs from Red Barked Tree alongside older material.
