Jan 31, 2015, 08:27 PM

The Coffee House Sessions are a chance for you to see some of the country’s most exciting and upcoming artists perform at universities across the country, including at the University of London Union (ULU). 30 different universities across the country have taken part in the scheme where artists perform 30-minute acoustic sets at different student spots up and down the country.

All of the artists are approved by BBC Radio 1’s ‘Introducing’ presenter Ally McCrae and the project has previously helped with the success of Hudson Taylor, Stephanie Fraser and many more.

This week, sixties-inspired rock and roll band The Waletones kicked off 2015’s Coffee House Sessions. The band’s inspirations include The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and The Beatles, and they played a mixture of their own songs and covers at the session- including the Friends theme tune! Their debut EP Look Out, Here Come the Waletones is released on the 9th March.

Emma Halligan and Daisy Smith caught up with the band to talk about their performance and the songs they most enjoy playing.
