very good-but if they want to get this sound why not just play guitars instead?

True, but missing the point a bit.

[jerry]

yeh, I know Turk, just me being an awkward git mate

[Turk]

Awesome sound tho'

[Dishevelled Den]

Very impressive indeed  8-) 8-)

[Hannah Judes Dad]

Very well done me thinks and on violins impressive

[MaxV6]

i promise you that's not ALL done on violins....  there's guitar in there as well

they've overdubbed their fiddles and drums on an already largely complete instrumental backing track... 


(hey it's what i do for a living......   )

I couldn't see any leads coming from the fiddles so were they miming?
Kit wasn't miked up either :-?

She's Kat's sister

Kit refers to Kit Drums (you need to be a Musician to understand the jargon!)

[dbug]

Of course they're miming, it's a music video! Another give away is that there's only one camera but several camera angles. The video editing is by Jennifer Lynn (The blonde one).

Here's the studio session for laying down the drum track, using the original S.O.A.D track as a guide.

As for guitars...nope. That's Violins and effects pedals, and that's it. Ok, possibly an electric Cello for the lower end of things as Christine Wu does use one on some live tracks.

I've played in various bands for over 25 years. Rock, folk and crossover, and I can assure you an electric Violin with a distortion pedal is an awesome sound. 

Need more proof, have a look here, in particular the 1:24 point
