Jolene - Ray Lamontagne - Shagpile Acoustic Cover

A live cover of Jolene by Ray Lamontagne covered by Shagpile. Performed in the Pedestrian Tyne Tunnel under the river Tyne. This is the first of a series of videos to come that were performed live in different parts of the tunnel. You can find more about Ray LaMontagne's music here http://www.raylamontagne.com

Here is some info on the tunnel : The Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel was Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnel. It runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The original cost was £833,000 And was used by 20,000 people a day. It actually consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m) diameter, and a larger 12 ft (3.7 m) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 900 ft (270 m) in length, and lie 40 ft (12.2 m) below the river bed. The tunnels are nearly 60 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.

Wow what a great place to record...novel idea for sure and the acoustics are wicked in there. The university I attended had tunnels under the buildings. Not to the magnitude of the tunnel you're in. They were way too crowded most times to record in.. a little smokey too..everbody would go there to catch a smoke out of the rain even tho' it wasn't allowed! lol Look forward to hearing more of this series!
