Tonight I chatted to Lewis Gale and Alan “Dukester” Hillsden from The Lockdown Band, a collective of local musicians (with some national & international ones too!) who, this time two years ago, decided to record some covers remotely while unable to meet up in person. Since then, they’ve recorded over 100 cover songs, music tutorials and plenty more. Check out their YouTube channel and get ready to sing along! Scroll down for a sample too…
