Video Of The Week - Megan & The Bourbon Boys

Inspired by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, our brand new development band Megan & The Bourbon Boys have been in the studio recording new demos and a couple of live(ish) videos

#SupportingNewMusic

We're about to start a series of live videos of original artists in the studio downstairs.

The videos will be sponsored by music industry brands and will become part of a platform that we're setting up to help promote the best new music.

We're looking for any of you who are interested to send us a video of your original track for consideration.
