Thank You For Watching#1: Albrecht’s Pencil + Isobel Anderson
by Will McConnell

To celebrate out first (and a half) birthday Bandwidth is launching a new series – and here is the very first episode!
It’s called ‘Thank You For Watching’, and its a series of gigs put on featuring Bandwidth’s favourite artists in living rooms, kitchens, coffee shops and other non-conventional locations all around Belfast city.
The idea, as ever, is to take music and performances out of the clutches of large venues and greedy promoters – and bring the music back to we the people. And as a thank you to all those who have watched so many bandwidth videos over the year – we want to bring the music to you online, uncut and entirely free.
For the inaugural gig, we launched a competition to find a suitable house to stage the soirée. So, coming live to you (well, recorded live) from the living room of 12 Ashley Avenue Belfast – the truly wonderful Brighton-born singer songstress Isobel Anderson.
Thank You For Watching: Isobel Anderson

Paint pots had been handed out, the revellers were fishing through the complimentary Bandwidth party bags (including cassette tapes and – yes! – Albrecht’s Pencil Pencils!), and the living room carpet was filling up. Time to bring out the main act – the stunning celtic/fusion/electro/folk/post-rock/self-confessed-music-nerds – and Bandwidth veterans – may we present to you:Albrecht’s Pencil.
