Us+A Shed+A Camera = ?

Sometimes it's the simplest things in life that are the best. I must admit that we were rather unsure of what to expect when, a few weeks ago, we turned up to the lovely Jon Earl's house near Bristol to record a video session in his shed. It was to be all completely acoustic, and recorded as-live with no editing, a nervewracking experience for any musician! And a previous line-up of acts including Lou Brown, Jackie Oates, Black Peak and 3 Daft Monkeys, among many others, didn't do much to ease the pressure on us...

But we had a great time - Jon was very friendly and kept us well refreshed with cups of tea (while he wasn't exchanging stories of rural flooding with Ben anyway), and despite a few false-starts here and there we finished the afternoon fairly confident that we had produced a fairly reasonable performance!

And then the wait started - unfortunately Jon had a back-log of sessions, so we had to wait a few weeks until the videos were available, but now we're incredibly happy to announce that they are live on www.songsfromtheshed.com!

Please do go and take a listen (and take a look at some of the past artists too, there are some gems in there), we reckon they've come out pretty well, so let us know what you think!
