We took 10 songs by (mostly) folk bands I used to know growing up in Kettering and turned them into poppy rock songs.
All of the original bands split up years ago (most of the songs are over ten years old) but I still had their demos so we figured them out using those, and the vocals on the album are by three of the original singers.
The songs were originally by Luna Sprout, MottDott, Tmart & The Raiders, Bee, and Tiny Pigeon.
I wanted to make an album that sounded like the sort of band I wanted to be in when I was 13 and started playing music with people.

Youth Works CIC have managed to keep both The William Knibb and Keystone centres going (where all our bands used to practise as teenagers), despite many cuts to funding. They continue to enable young people to engage in all manner of positive activities and to feel part of their community, thanks to the support and generosity of the genral public.
