Here is a live acoustic performance by Virgil, as they develop and search for ideas on a new track called “sliding sideways” - This was recorded at Gab’s studio in the Bastille, Paris, with Gabbo on cello, Si on acoustic guitar and Dan singing. You’ll also see Dan writing lyrics for the track live in the studio - the main verse and chorus for the track were written on the move; by Dan in an airport in Florida and by Si on a train into London. Check out the video to see the creative process and also a little taster of the finished track right at the end. More to come…

Firstly, sorry for the delay in news updates, it’s been one heck of a summer here at Woodshed HQ. After a gig in St Barts, a photography trip to Cuba and a summer of rain in England, we’re back on track and fully focused so brace yourselves for some new material.

We’ve got 2 brand new releases coming over the next few weeks, plus podcasts, videos, etc. The Virgil Sturgeon are currently in the studio in Paris and P for Panther are working on some new material. The Treehouse and P for Panther debut releases are arriving at the Woodshed online store in October and are already available on the iTunes, US, UK and European stores.

We hope you’ve had a great summer and are looking forward to the fresh, colour filled, Autumnal months that are rapidly approaching us - get ready for some leaf crunching, big jumpers, roaring fires, hats and scarfs.

Big love to you all - Woodshed HQ

“Melody is everything to me. My influences include corny Icelandic 80’s ballads, jazz, funk and soul, old computer game themes, drum&bass, breakbeat, elves and nature too, I’m Icelandic after all. Someone said my music is ‘emo’. I hope they’re right - assuming the term ‘emo’ means what I think it does.” Skurken
