Part of what the IN STORES series is all about is bringing new talent to the masses, by presenting undiscovered musicians in a raw uncompromising environment, giving them just an acoustic guitar and five minutes to prove their skill to the world.

It was in that spirit I was delighted to discover Lee Mitchell. He’s an old friend of the lads from Six Star Hotel, and a stage manager at the Forfey festival. I was pleased to be able to prove too, that he’s also an amazing singer-songwriter.

Belfast’s Ormeau Baths Gallery was the setting, shortly after Christmas, and here’s how it went down:
