The Lathums - How Beautiful Life Can Be (Acapella)

Take a listen to this amazing reworking of the former Radio X Record Of The Week

The Lathums are enjoying a great summer, having just released their single How Beautiful Life Can Be, which was named the Radio X Record Of The Week earlier this month.

Now the band have released a unique acapella version of the single, complete with a video filmed in their native Wigan. The video shoot followed an impromptu busking trip in the town last week.

The new take on the song was inspired by the group's live walk-on music: Caravan Of Love by The Housemartins. The acapella recording was arranged i collaboration with Parr Street Studios producer Chris Taylor and The Coral's Paul Duffy.
