Absolute Radio and Abbey Road Studios have joined forces to host a series of acoustic sessions at the world-famous home of the Beatles’ recording.

The music of Devon band Iko has been used for Twilight the movie. Their song “Heart Of Stone” is featured in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2″.

Brixton’s Oli Wennink is a masterful storytelling songwriter, and accomplished pianist.

The acoustic tie-up between Absolute and Abbey Road is based on a relationship built earlier this year for a series of sessions.

These have included performances by Fun, Paul Weller and Alabama Shakes.
