Viv Albertine (once guitarist with The Slits) is my new hero.

I’ve just finished reading her brilliant autobiography. (This should be compulsory reading for every man on the planet!)

In making this record she learnt how to play guitar again (she never really could) took to the stage (she suffered terribly prior to performing) and became a vocalist (she really couldn’t sing).

The same singular and “anyone can” philosophy demonstrated with the Slits 30 years earlier, comes to the fore again on this wonderful 4 track EP.

Nathan's Session - May 2026

In this session, we explored the road less travelled, the road well travelled, and yet we still ended up hearing the Eagles three times in one round.

In this session, we sought out to prove that the fairer sex can still make a racket with six strings, that music isn’t dead (it just smells funny) and that some of the most interesting artists ignore the rule book.
