Regional One Acoustic takes the music of UK alternative rock band Regional One and reimagines it for a more intimate setting.
Acoustic Collection I brings together six tracks from across the Regional One catalogue, reworked with alternative instrumentation and new arrangements that put the focus on the vocals, melodies, lyrics and songwriting behind the originals.
Every track on Acoustic Collection I has its own music video, giving you the chance to see and hear all six songs in their stripped-back form.
Watch Rise, Chosen featuring Nia Nicholls, Smoke It Away, Sold!, Hide and Hero reimagined as part of the Regional One Acoustic Sessions.
ACOUSTIC COLLECTION I
SIX REGIONAL ONE SONGS. REIMAGINED.
Rather than simply taking away the electric guitars, Acoustic Collection I gave us the opportunity to approach some familiar Regional One songs from a completely different perspective.
Alternative instrumentation, stripped-back arrangements and new soundscapes bring different elements of each track to the forefront while keeping the identity of the originals firmly intact.
Released on 24 August 2026, the collection also marks a turning point for Regional One, tying a bow around our first two releases as we move towards a new era of original music.
“A WHOLE NEW DYNAMIC TO OUR MUSICAL JOURNEY.”

This isn’t Regional One turned down.
It’s Regional One reworked.
“We feel that these versions bring a lot of the songs to life in a new light, emphasising certain lyrics and melodies that would otherwise potentially go less noticed.” – Simon Ball, Lead Vocalist, Regional One
The acoustic arrangements allow us to bring a more personal and intimate Regional One performance to different stages and audiences while exploring familiar songs in new ways.
And as for whether there could be more acoustic Regional One in the future?
