Field Recording #6

 

Location: Houlihan’s (the restaurant) in a booth.

Sounds heard in the clip: Eliza is singing along with the music that is playing: Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield. I am heard saying “Wait for the break” Stefanie says that we need to “get some harmonies in there” and there is general murmur of people talking in the restaurant underneath. Very fun times.
