Silje Nes Unplugged Outdoors Video

30/06/08

Following her appearance last week at Hove Festival in her native Norway, Silje Nes recorded this great little unplugged video for Handheldshows website.

The video sees her performing the track Bright Night Morning from her debut album Ames Room which we released this January. It shows Silje playing acoustically in the woods as a four-piece, with her new band, and it's a very cool little thing.
