Westlife in London Sept. 1998, recording "Swear It Again"

Studio footage begins at 2:40... A celebrity "Lost Hi8 Tape"! Amateur footage of the band's trip to Rokstone Studios in London in September 1998 to record their two biggest hits, "Swear It Again" and "Flying Without Wings". Back then, the group was known as "IOU", then later "Westside", and finally renamed "Westlife" in early 1999 after it was discovered there were several other groups also using the name "Westside".
