The Feeling's Platinum Debut: Recorded in a Sussex Shed!
4 Oct
Summary
- The Feeling's debut album was recorded in a humble garden shed.
- The band recorded their triple-platinum album in Horsham, Sussex.
- A 20th anniversary tour will feature the album performed in full.
The triple-platinum debut album by The Feeling, 'Twelve Stops and Home,' has reached its 20th anniversary, with frontman Dan Gillespie Sells revealing its unique recording location. Much of the album was created in a garden shed in Horsham, Sussex, belonging to the parents of bandmates Kevin and Ciaran Jeremiah. This surprising origin story comes from a time before widespread smartphone use, when music consumption was vastly different.
The band's journey to recording their landmark album began with time spent together in Ashdown Forest after meeting at the Brit School. Gillespie Sells, who is not originally from Sussex, spent his teenage years in the county and contributed to the band's early work in their parents' outhouse. Using borrowed microphones and a small computer built by Kevin, the band achieved their hit recordings in a relaxed, informal setting.
To commemorate two decades since the album's release, The Feeling is set to embark on a special 20th-anniversary tour. This tour will feature the band performing 'Twelve Stops and Home' in its entirety. Fans can experience this nostalgic celebration at upcoming shows in Eastbourne and Margate during November.
