We had been trying to pin Well Wisher down for a session ever since we saw them support Algernon Cadwallader back in September ’09. We eventually set a time on the May day bank holiday and filmed them in The Rad Pad on Burton Road. They introduced us to the Nissin noodle man and also brought back the terrifying memory of Lizzie from Playdays.

We met Blind Atlas at Chorlton Nature reserve and were led off to their location of choice! After a brisk walk carrying lots of instruments, the band set themselves up around this amazing hidden creek. Fortunately for us, the sun decided to pop out long enough for us to film this beautiful session.

After arranging to film a session with Frazer King during their time at Sounds From The Other City Festival, we headed down to The New Oxford, only to find the band rigging up their generator to an unknown power source and setting up their very own stage on the steps of the Magistrates Court. We whipped out the camera and managed to capture this unique performance that if nothing else, will serve as a pleasant reminder of that nights events to the people who had been having an especially good time at the Festival.

Jesca Hoop had just performed an enchanting set at St Philip’s Church as part of this years Sounds From The Other City Festival. We managed to steal her away afterwards and take her to the beautiful spiral stairwell in the church, which provided us with perfect acoustics for this intimate performance of ‘Murder of Birds’.

We filmed this haunting session with Sparrow & The Workshop aboard the mighty tour bus they were sharing with tour headliners Idlewild. Here they perform a stripped back version of ‘Devil Song’. Delightful.
