Wakefield indie rock band, Skinny Living, take Notion with them for a Day in the Life as they gig in their hometown.
A band who will lift your spirits as well and provide the tunes to get you dancing, Skinny Living are an indie-soul trio on the rise. New release “Who Likes” is their first new music in three years, and the group are back with a bang.
Previously garnering attention with tracks like “Why” and “Let Me In” – which have a combined 30 million streams – their homemade live acoustic take on Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ recently went viral and was viewed over 2 million times.
The group have just completed an acoustic tour of pubs across the north of England, culminating in resulting in a performance in their hometown, Wakefield. They took Notion along for the ride for a Day in the Life, as over 1000 people turned up to their gig on the common outside the King’s Arms.

A selfie video with the crowd! Hundreds turned out to that street, no doormen, no security and no trouble just good vibes with good people in our home town! We will never forget it.
