a lazy Sunday afternoon in Alice's Wonderland, with a cup of the finest tea known to man. We're the only band in the jukebox.
Debut release, the Yellow EP shows off the band's acoustic roots, recorded in a couple of hours in 2008, entirely live. The brand new Green EP was recorded in the Highlands of Scotland over a couple of days in June 2009 (just before the Insider Festival) and released during the Edinburgh Festival in August, with The Banana Sessions playing nearly 30 gigs in three weeks this year.
You can buy the EPs from us at our brand new online shop, and we'll send them to you anywhere in the world...

The Banana Sessions have been played on the It's A Frog's Life Acoustic Podcast Show 88 - 3rd Anniversary part 2 - containing 12 more of my favourite tracks from the last 12 months of podcasting. Lots of music and little talking from me means I can fit in more great tunes from the past year. It's just a shame that so many other great songs had to miss the cut! ..
