While at this years Un-Convention event in Salford, we were lucky enough to witness Jun Tzu unleash an incredible nine minute spoken word poem in front of Jarvis Cocker and Billy Bragg. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, and we needed to get a session with him. Jun Tzu is a lovely guy with an amazing story to tell.

Stepping into Paddy Steer’s studio space is like stepping into his mind. We didn’t know what to expect from Paddy’s session but we were delighted to find a smoke machine and lasers. Paddy was kind enough to tailor this composition especially for us. It was a great way to start the day with this 10am shoot.

Just months after filming tour companions ‘Tiger Please’ we were back at Moho live to film with London’s EASTSTRIKEWEST. They requested somewhere seedy to film, but after finding the Big in Amsterdam porn shop closed we headed for this well lit back alley. It worked out perfectly as the acoustics of the street showed off the talents of this great young band.

The Narrows

We had a great time filming with The Narrows! We met the band on Oldham Street on a beautiful autumn evening. Not knowing how many members to expect, we politely introduced ourselves to the four men we thought were part of the band. It turns out there were only three people playing on the session, the fourth guy was a mentally ill drifter who had taken a shine to the lads. He had a bit of a shout then wondered off, leaving us to film this epic session on the NCP roof!

We were so excited about finally filming with Run Toto Run, after nearly a year of figuring out a time and place, let alone how the electro trio would translate their sound to an un-plugged session. As it happens, they lugged their synths and drums onto a roof and plugged it right in. Sessions are always better with tinnies and sunshine!
