The View

Scottish rockers have been recording with special guests

The View's second album is set to feature guest appearances from Paolo Nutini and Babyshambles' Drew McConnell.

The Daily Star revealed that singer/songwriter Nutini has been hooking up with the Dundee band as they work on their follow up to their 2007 debut LP, 'Hats Off To The Buskers'.

Meanwhile McConnell has told NME.COM that he has played double bass on the record.

The View previewed songs set for the album at the recent Love Music Hate Racism concert co-organised by their pal McConnell in London's Victoria Park.

The band are yet to set a release date for the album, though it is anticipated it will be out in late 2008/early 2009.
