Mahalia - Mardy Bum (Acoustic Video)

Directed by Kaz Ove, here is a lovely video portrait of 13-year old Mahalia in the studio with her family recording a stripped back acoustic performance of her cover of 'Mardy Bum' by Arctic Monkeys. A sick rendition, and hopefully it's just the start for this incredibly talented singer/songwriter - debut EP on the way.
