"Working with Syllabus and the team at Place PR for the launch of the inaugural Station Sessions Festival has been fantastic. It's a really unique proposition for artists to engage with the general public in a location that ordinarily would be out of bounds. Having worked with them on sessions for rising Charmfactory (www.charmfactory.co.uk) artists over the past 12 months including Delta Maid, Liam Bailey, Scoundrels and Friends Electric I knew the potential that lay for bigger acts at St Pancras International and how smooth it would all go, of course.
Having Guillemots (facebook.com/guillemotsmusic) launch the festival was such a great moment - I think the photo above taken by snapper Brendan Doherty really captures the spirit of the event - the station concourse was buzzing. The icing on the cake was Nerina Pallot (facebook.com/NerinaPallotOfficial) playing a full hour set with a string quartet on Friday evening to mark the release of her new album 'Year of the Wolf'. So many people who ordinarily never go to gigs stopped to take in these special performances, not to mention the legions of fans who came down.
Would I do it again? Hells yeah, try stopping me. Would I recommend other artsits to do it, yes, in a flash. "

We love when a good plan comes together and it certainly did for the launch of the festival, thanks to the lovely people at CharmFactory.
