The Wedgewood Rooms video

So last year there was a lot of talk about streaming and filmed performances. Some venues jumped at the opportunity, some didn't.

This is something we wanted to do very early on in the pandemic but due to a multitude of reasons we just never got the project off the ground 😬

We shot quite a few tests using a makeshift camera setup, a mismatch of iPhones, old cameras and a DSLR. This idea grew until we eventually had a little crew, more gear, loads of ideas. We were excited to get back to work! Then it all fell apart.....

We were literally about to contact bands just before Christmas when news of another lockdown broke. Legally we could have filmed during that final lockdown, but a lot of venues and artists struggled with whether or not it was the appropriate thing to do at the time considering the death toll.

While we've been very vocal about staying open and the support we need, we've never lost sight of the very real and tragic events happening around us.

We would have loved to have streamed some local artists into your homes but considering the circumstances we decided it would be best to put the project on hold.

Due to scheduling issues with maintenance around the building we never did get round to organising it. Now it feels like that ship has sailed, we would be competing with socially distanced gigs, the Euro 2020, the weather!

We thought it was going in a really good direction so we thought we would share an early test with you. This is when it was just me doing the recording and the cameras before we got some people involved who actually knew what they were doing 😂

There will be a lot of what ifs from this past year, but we're not kicking ourselves, we've tried our best and we're extremely grateful to still be here. We hope to have an update on our Summer schedule for you tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience and enjoy the musical stylings of our Andy 🙏
