Shed Sessions

The setting sun takes with her the warm golden rays from the shed doors like a thousand retreating ornamental metal spears. The cradling crescent moon is later pinned above the semi detached houses half way up the cold hazy ink blue western skies. While nature quietly transforms for her next scene, Izzie’s beautiful songs merge with the changes outside as Nick’s splendid double

Warren welcomes Simon, Tom and Alfie from the incredible Killer Kowalski into the shed to kick off Season 14. Sadly there wasn't enough space for the full band so Howard could't join them this time. The band sounds amazing as they try out the stripped back acoustic arrangements for the very first time. It's an early Spring evening, the blossom petals are drifting about and Warren t

Warren is joined in the shed by Aris and Francesco from Mount St. Helen. They are stripped back, leaving Ryan (drums) and Dan (bass) with the sound knowledge that they are carrying the flame proudly over to the shed for this exclusive performance and conversation. The music is otherworldly and the lyrics are lovingly carried by Aris' dreamy voice and the ethereal sounds of the pair

The Deadbeat Apostles grace the floorboards of the shed in a stripped back, acoustic form. Their soulful groove very much in force and ready to be shared with us all. The session is filled with love, sandwiches, crisps, New York, Bowie, Lennon, first plays, Will Young on wash up duties and an excessive music quiz. This is a history of the Deadbeats, where they've been, where they a

Warren welcomes James and Tim into the shed for a stripped back KANADIA set. The pair are soaring with the thermals and gazing across the boggy fields and enchanted woodlands, mapping the route as we float along with them. Enveloped in pure bliss. A field mouse peaks out from the leaf litter as the notes are set free into the star spangled night skies over the Oxfordshire countrysi

Welcome back to the first episode of 2024. For this special occassion we recorded a Shed Session in front of an audience at The Bullingdon Cocktail Bar in Oxford with the incredibly talented Joely June. Warren guided us gently through this magical land of music and conversation. It was love from the very first chord as Joely, Evie and Phil reached out and let us peek into the myste

The rain spills from shed the roof directly onto the gravel; it coats the windows with an opaque slick that looks like the glass is melting. The droplets get heavier at intervals and shake the remaining raspberry leaves this way and that, like a dancer under strobe lights. Water streams down the leaf tips and pierce deep holes into the mud below. The sounds from outside beckon to j

Dolly, Bee and Ruth visited last week and performed some of their songs acoustically for us. Their enchanting creations are now infused within the fabric of the shed alongside the craftings of the bands who have shared this intriguing space before them. The band (minus Chris and Adrian on this occasion) chat about their 2023 Album The Calm and The Storm as well as the documentary o

As the air outside begins to turn icy, The Bobo find themselves in the warmth of the shed nearly a year since their last Winter visit. They now have new band mates, a recording session in Maida Vale 4, a captivating TRUCK festival performance; a new knockout EP; a live performance on TV and a new album forming as well as a handful of Oxford shows. There is mystery and beauty in the

The rains have come and the stepping stones are small islands on the way to the sanctuary of the shed at the end of the garden. Lavinia’s songs weave an harmonious embrace around the wet and cold as Warren drifts off, spellbound. We find out more about the treasure of an album that is Komorebi. Released in 2020 at a time of uncertainty and change, it is taking on a beautiful jour
