Saturday! Alright! We opened up and prepared for our busiest day yet. First off the mark, band-wise were The Bank Holidays, who played a one-off acoustic set without their drummer and charmed everyone with songs off their new yet-to-be released album ‘Sail Becomes a Kite’. You can get a taste for the songs in their raw form right here. Special shout out to James Crombie from The Bank Holidays, who was also the mastermind behind the design of the Takeaway Tunes shop. Much respect to his skills, which you may have appreciated if you came into the store, which as you can hear, also extend to great harmonies!

In the early evening The Tigers came in to lay down twelve tracks, being the only band to take our hour long set times to heart. What great dudes. With over a decades worth of material they were up to the task, ending with a cover of Amerie’s ‘1 Thing’.

Last on Saturday night was Taco Leg who played ten songs with a few covers thrown in for good measure. Taco Leg are about to record an album so they saved up most of their regular tracks, but did smash out a sick n sludgey rendition of Freemason’s Hall and some charming limited note improvs.

Lastly, a big thanks to Thomas Rowe who documented 3/5 days of recording with his sick ass new camera, and to Dan Grant, who happily snapped away on the other two days. Awesome job doods!
