The first live session we had, was from Fiona Clayton and band. Fiona and band who hail from Cumbria, have just released an E.P called "Making My way", the E.P is available from their facebook page.
They are currently on tour all over the country and are due to play the Academy in Newcastle on the 14th July. Fiona, played the BBC's Big weekend last year, which was held in cumbria, since then there has been a slight change in line up and they have recently become unsigned...yes... unsigned, i asked Fiona if this was a good thing and she said "Yes,we have alot more flexibility, we are looking to get an agent on board and organise another tour. We'd love to be signed, but to the right people - right now we are having a great time gigging and touring".
Oh and THE BAND are Jan and John.
Second up was The Chevin, this four piece come from leeds and their new single "Drive" is out on the 28th of May. The band, Coyle, John Matt and Mal have been very busy recording their new Album "Borderlands". They recorded in Texas as, the band claim, "its cheeper to spend four weeks recording in texas then to record in Leeds".Flying over to Texas was worth while though, as they have managed to get a slot on David Lettermans show, which is due to air on the 29th August this year.
Although The Chevin have been busy recording, they still managed to get a tour in, supporting White Lies and Franz ferdinand and will be playing at T in the park and the Bingley festival in September.

Then we had Gideon Conn live on the phone, he told us all about recording his new album "Take it All" which is due for release on the 4th June. And we had a listen to his new single "Fall Under Tokyo" taken from the album, which will be released on the 28th May. We also learnt that Gideon has a great fondness for food.
We also spoke to Compa, who told us what he has been upto over the last few months - he has been traveling all over europe DJing, and he has his own show on the Dubstep radio station subFM, he is on every Wednesday 2-4.
