Host a Tiny Vinyl Session

What It Is

Tiny Vinyl Sessions is an intimate filmed series — no audience — celebrating songwriting and the craft behind it.

Each session features 2–3 stripped-back songs (usually two originals and a cover) and a relaxed conversation about the artist's process and what life's really like as a working musician.

We release each session as a podcast (conversation + songs) and a set of live tracks on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube — with new episodes every fortnight across platforms.

Why Your Venue

We love filming in real spaces — bars, cafés, restaurants, and creative venues — that already carry the atmosphere of live music.

Rather than setting up on the stage, we use a natural corner of the room, keeping the energy organic and tied to the feel of the space.

Recording happens outside business hours (usually around closing time) with a minimal footprint — a few cameras, small lights, and everyone performing in headphones, so no loudspeakers. Everything goes back exactly as we found it.

Each session release carries your venue name in the title (e.g. "Live @ [Venue Name]"), and as a thank-you we'll also produce a few short promo videos you can use across your socials.

🎬 Example: Tiny Vinyl Session — Whispers Gin Bar

On the Day

  • Setup: ~1–2 hrs

  • Recording: 2–4 hrs

  • Pack down: ~1–2 hrs

  • Total time on site: ~6–8 hrs

A Note on Noise

We pick a slot that works around your trade so we're not interrupting business — but we do need a reasonably quiet environment. Admin, paperwork, light prep behind the bar are all fine. The trickier stuff is banging, cleaning, or trades work mid-session — we don't want a pipe repair landing in the final edit during an intimate vocal moment. Happy to work with whatever window suits you best.

The Vibe

Think triple j Like A Version, NPR Tiny Desk, or BBC Live Lounge — but even more stripped-back and personal.

 

Recent Releases

We've now filmed 10 episodes across local venues, with new sessions dropping fortnightly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Timing

We're booking sessions year-round, with two or three venues lined up at a time. If you can spare around 6–8 hours of access — typically a quieter weekday or morning — we'll fit entirely around your schedule.

Get in Touch

If this sounds like a good fit, I'd love to chat about filming a session at your venue.
