First up tonight I was joined in the studio by Dave and Tony AKA Sell. The duo originally formed many moons ago, undergoing a few different guises over the years, but reformed recently to record new material. Click above to listen back to the pair chatting about their history (possibly a longer history than any other band we’ve ever had in), plus being featured on a film soundtrack! You can listen to some of Sell’s material, new and old, on their YouTube page.

Next up I was joined in the studio by Michael, Alex and Phil from Manchester-based quintet Tamsyn. Having recently established their full band line-up, Tamsyn are hitting the studio in August to record their first EP, of which we got a sample tonight with a live session. The fivesome are playing various gigs & festivals across the UK this summer – find them on Facebook and Twitter for their latest news!
