Downdog-ged determination

Who says covering people’s songs doesn’t get you anywhere? Manchester heavy rock band Downdog are in line to record at Abbey Road studios after recording their own version of David Gilmour’s latest hit, Arnold Layne… but they need your help!

As part of the promotional campaign for Gilmour’s single, the former Pink Floyd man is offering the winner of an online vote for the best version of the track a free day recording at the legendary studios, plus a new band logo, drawn by Pink Floyd and ex-Hipgnosis designer Storm Thorgerson.

For lead singer Michelle, the chance to get involved was just too much to pass up.

"The chance to pay our own small homage to the mighty Floyd by reworking their Sixties' classic and hoisting it firmly into the 21st Century was irresistible!"

That said, it was the lure of the prize that got the band’s attention too, as Michelle explained.

"The idea of treading in the footsteps of the industry's legends and making music at the world's most famous recording studios - well, that's the stuff dreams are made of!!"

If you want to help Downdog’s dreams come true, simply follow these links and vote for their song – if you like it, of course!

And if you’re still wondering whether a cover version should get you such a prize, it’s worth bearing in mind that Gilmour’s own version, complete with backing vocals from David Bowie, is a reworking of Floyd’s own 1967 original!
