BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Volume 6 is the annual round-up of the cream of 2011’s Live Lounge sessions. Artists such as Jessie J, Birdy and Ed Sheeran make their debut appearance, alongside superstars such as Take That and Adele. The first Live Lounge sessions started 10 years ago on Jo Whiley’s show, and are now under the watchful eye of Fearne Cotton, attracting the best acts in the world. The bands and artists perform their own track, and a cover version. The tracks are live and stripped down, showing the true quality of the musicianship and craft of the song.
