Are you unsigned and talented?
The Shed Session is an exciting new YouTube platform that was launched on the 5th January this year with the sole purpose of promoting unsigned and talented musicians nationally.
www.theshedsession.com contact@theshedsession.com
Unsurprisingly The Shed is a (large) garden shed in Brentwood, Essex that has been converted into a recording studio and multimedia space. It boasts professional grade equipment to allow the recording and production of audio visual material.
As you might expect this happens via a live performance of original material where a band/artist get to strut their stuff in front of the camera and have it professionally recorded for YouTube.
Ralph Mullan, the founder of the Shed Session, owner of The Shed Studio and self-confessed music addict, has played and worked with unsigned bands for many years.
He has wanted to turn a dream of owning a studio and his desire to help gigging unsigned talent to climb the super tough music ladder into a reality for many years. Ralph recognised the insatiable appetite of today’s social media platforms for content and saw The Shed Session going some way towards satisfying this must have for any aspiring talent.
The Shed Session welcomes and encourages diversity and wants to showcase people from all walks of life, all ages and all styles. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to think that their
music is not right for the channel.
To get involved you’ll need to contact Ralph at The Shed via one of the platforms listed at the bottom of this article provide an appropriate link to your material and social media sites.
From there it’s a matter of being selected based upon your diversity and talent which was mentioned earlier in the article. Once selected you’ll need to make the journey to Brentwood, Essex for your day in the studio.
If selected it is worth noting that The Shed Session is free, YES FREE!! If you are not a performer or maybe you are not selected there is still some great music to be enjoyed on the channel so why not like and subscribe to the fortnightly releases?

Jack Garratt is very pleased to share details of his second album and his first new music since 2016.
‘Love, Death & Dancing’ will be released on the 12th June 2020 through Island Records. The music is performed solely by Jack, and produced alongside Jacknife Lee and James Flannigan. It is available for pre-order.
The record is preceded today by the sharing of three new songs, Vol. 1, Jack’s first new music since 2016’s ‘Phase’ LP.
Jack Garratt accompanies this deeply personal album with an equally reflective
“I wrote this album as someone - and for anyone - who likes dancing but doesn’t necessarily want to go out on a Saturday. It’s dance music for people who don’t want to go out”
Jack Garratt long-form visual piece, ‘Love, Death & Dancing – a film by Jack Garratt’, of which the first instalment ‘Time’ is out now on all major video platforms. View it HERE
Listen to Vol. 1, featuring ‘Time’, ‘Mara’, and ‘Return Them To The One’ click HERE
In February, Jack headed out on a UK and European ‘Work In Progress’ tour to preview the new songs out on the road, ahead of further headline dates later in the year.

The Diet Plate is perfect for lockdown ...
... it can be used in the privacy and safety of the person's home and is a great lifestyle tool, firstly because a person uses it to get to goal weight and then uses it to maintain their weight, I have had a lady use hers for 14 years and the most she ever gained after losing 4 stones was 5lbs back.
This is because as soon as she feels like she might be putting weight back on then she pulls the plate out and begins to use it to re-educate herself to the correct portion sizes for the different food groups.
Sam Smith
Lost over 12 KG / 2 Stone The Diet Plate worked for me, I lost 2 stone and reduced from a size 16 to a size 12. It taught me all about food and nutrition and what a true portion looks like. I will never go back to living like I did. When you get to your goal weight nothing quite feels like the sense of success you get when you try on a dress 2 sizes smaller and it slips right over your body.
James Dennis
Lost over 105 KG / 17 Stone After an injury which left me unable to exercise anymore, I started to gain weight at an alarming rate. It did not take me too long to reach a whopping 36 and a half stone. I used The Diet Plate every night and followed the plan. I started to lose weight and quite rapidly began to look much better.
The product is for the whole family to use, we have a child's plate and a male version too.
Debbie Headen
Lost over 24 KG / 4 Stone I followed the plan to the letter and was astonished at how quickly the weight was falling off and at how quickly my figure was coming back. I will never go back to the old Debbie, I love my life now. I love being slim and buying clothes that look just how the designer intended.
The Diet Plate can be found on the website thedietplate.com and it costs £19.99 with bowl £14.99 and postage.
