  • Shed Session 27: The Bobo (part two)
    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 music this band make. There too is a generous serving of creativity, honesty and love in what they do. It's been a great joy and honour to hear the band connect with each other in this very special episode. Thank you for listening. You can see photos from the session on instagram: @shedtreasures.

  • Shed Session 26: Flamingo
    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 journey of its own and safely into Warren’s top 5! Thank you for listening.

  • Ian and Warren talk Shed Sessions

    Ian and Warren realised that they haven’t had a chat in a while because they’re always busy doing Shed Sessions with bands. So they got together and enjoyed a much needed conversation about supermarkets, music, our favourite Shed Sessions moments, “What’s in My Bag” recommendations and of course the weather. You can listen to their reflections in the new bonus podcast episode via the link in the bio. Thank you all for your support, it enriches local music.

  • Shed Session 25: Crandle

    Pick up a pair of Snakeskin Cowboy boots from the Trading Post store. Jump into a dusty faded blue 50s Chevy truck and take a long cruise through the California deserts. Drive along the lonely highway and stop in at a motel with a swimming pool, palm trees and scorpions. There's a band playing out back. The hot wind picks up and swirls dirt around Sarah's keyboard as the notes skate along the mirage beyond the palms. Matt's tremolo shifts and bends time as the crows nod casually from their perch on the frayed power lines above. This is the landscape painted by the brilliant Crandle. Sarah's voice is dreamy and Matt's guitar captures a time gone by. Their creative union makes for a beautiful session. Ian has captured the purest of sounds for you to enjoy on your very own magical journey. "These are the days of miracle and wonder; This is the long distance call" (Paul Simon, the boy in the bubble). Thank you for listening.

  • Shed Session 24: STORNOWAY
    Ripper circles high above the shed. The tip of her right wing is torn but this doesn't affect the majesty of her high level soaring. She shares the same airspace with another two Red Kites. Beautiful melodies flow out of the open windows and up into the cool evening air. The spellbinding sounds mingle with the birds as they mock the airplanes with their natural mastery of flight above the Thames Valley, Oxford city and the suburbs. Warren is lifted up high with Brian, Jon and Oli as they play three songs from their eagerly anticipated new album as well as two more along with delightful conversation. A joyous gathering somewhere between the earth and the sky. Here we are at home with one of Oxford's finest bands. Their new album Dig The Mountain! is out on 6 October 2023. Find out more about STORNOWAY on the website: https://www.stornowayband.com, on Instagram: @stornowayband. Photos from the session are on Instagram: @shedtreasures

  • Shed Session 23: Jack Cade
    In this session we hear the the most amazing voice and guitar playing by Jack Cade. The storytelling moves between the songs like a low mist twisting and climbing between Oxford's spires on a late summer morning. The sun burns away the suspended droplets of water and reveals a clear, hot day. Jack is on his way from Brighton and listening to music as he drives. He arrives at the shed and is ready to share a very special evening with Warren and Ian. As the sun sets, the blues and indigoes wash the sky and we can't quite believe this has all happened. We enjoyed every moment and are now ready to share it with you. You are going to love this episode. Thank you for listening.

  • Shed Session 22: Dogmilk
    The summer is in full bloom, the hazelnuts are hanging from the branches, blackberries are turning from sour to sweet and the balmy days are advancing into cooler nights and Dogmilk share a stunning stripped back performance in the shed. Warren welcomes the most charming, light hearted and fun conversations about three piece bands, songwriting dynamics and driving up the wrong way through crowds of festival goers. There is magic in the room every time and the music is extraordinary. Thank you for listening.

  • Shed Session 21: Suspire
    Sam and Zin from newly fledged Oxford band Suspire grace the shed with brilliance! Their stripped back performance will have band mates Emily and Albi fill up with joy for knowing that they are in a band with them and creating music together.
    The conversations guide us into the most stunning and arresting performances that will no doubt stay with you beyond this recording. I've been singing along loudly since! There's a purpose in their art and the pair succinctly share stories with passion and guts.
