The Crane has been played on NTS shows including Unknown To The Unknown , with Riposte first played on 23 December 2014.

Large, long-legged and long-necked, The Crane (or Grus Teh) – of the Gruidae family is primarily native to the Nottingham area although has been known to migrate east for the techno season. Unlike most birds of the Gruiformes order, The Crane's mating call is extremely complex – often blending several genres simultaneously to create a harmonious whole. The success rate of said mating call is unknown, yet anthropologists believe it to pale in comparison to buffer, hyper calls from similar species.
