Jack King has made no less than four videos for To Kill A King's new EP My Crooked Saint - one for each track - that both stand alone but also work together. Set over the course of one day, on one suburban estate in Yorkshire. The central running theme concerns a select group of lost-souls who live on the same street; whose individual sensibilities and perceptions about themselves, others around them and the estate they live on lead them to each create their own unique realities.

"I think with some of the band and myself being from Yorkshire meant that when we get enough money for one good video, we must make four videos with it, one for every song on the EP - and they all must be different, like four stand-alone music videos, but which also you could put together to make a 20-min short film. So myself and Ralph [the singer] set about writing something halfway between his brief and my pitch, and about a week later we were all on estate with the gypsies and their horses, having breakfast in the nephew of famous dead playwright Andrea Dunbar's house, sat at a table looking through the 30-plus page shot-list... 
"The next four days are sort of a blur but I owe it to all the amazing, talented and generous people involved that we got it done. We were basically shooting rehearsals in some parts, and doing most things in only one take, so I felt incredibly lucky with the actors we had who just kept nailing it, as well as an awesome camera team who got pretty much everything right first time, and Karl and Steph who kept me sane in all the chaos. 
"The whole thing just felt like a mad puzzle, as we were shooting scenes from two separate or even three separate videos all next to each other, so it was a nightmare trying to keep track of continuity and story. I can't wait to do just one video."

To Kill A King 'My Crooked Saint EP' by Jack King

Butcher The Bar - aka singer-songwriter Joel Nicholson from Rotherham - teams up with Rob Jury for Alpha Street West from his Each A Future Tethered album, and a one-shot video that was a test of endurance for the artist.
"The shoot was an adventure to say the least," says Rob Jury. "After issues with kit and the 10 foot steel rig breaking half way through the day, we finally managed to get three takes of the entire track. You can see the look on Joel's face throughout, as he endured quite a bit. 
"Not only being rotated upside down and having all matters of art department debree thrown at him, but he had to sing the track at double speed and he still seemed to focus on the camera and portray a great performance."
