Acoustic sessions and live performances with Villagers(IRE)


Villagers(IRE) at Fargo Store, Paris
As I usually watch a lot of acoustic sessions on the Internet, here are some of them with Villagers. I don't know anyone else who did almost all the sessions for great music websites! You can watch awesome videos of his live shows with his band by MatthewJAnthony. They are not in a particular order, ramdomly embed here.  Just be sure not to play them all at the same time or you'll have technical problems... Just refresh the page. 
If you want to see the videos on a bigger size, click on them! Hope you'll enjoy them! (Sorry for the presentation below, I don't have time to make it better, but it doesn't matter!) More to come soon, I guess, stay tuned... I update this post, when I found Conor's new sessions...
