Radio

Here at The Weekender we're often inundated with requests by local musicians to record live 'sessions'. However, our speech-based radio studios simple aren't up to the task.

Enter Parlour Studios in Kettering, who have kindly donated their space for us to host local musicians looking to record live tracks for the radio.

Each session must contain three songs, two originally written by the band themselves and one cover version performed in a unique style. Also, all songs are recorded live - no overdubs are allowed.

The Sessions

The acts who have recorded Weekender Parlour Sessions so far:

Yeltsin

The Corby trio took to the studio in late September 2008 to record three songs. Their cover version was Buddy Holly's Maybe Baby, and featured guest vocals from Ross of My First Radio.

Sympathy State

The Kettering quartet were the first to record, taking to the studio in July 2008. They played three songs, including a cover version of Yeah Yeah Yeahs Gold Lion.
