Faith guitars recently ran an online competition, hosted by Rob Champan with the chance to win the prototype for their new Naked Mars guitar. The challenge was to send in an original piece of music and post it on the Faith Guitar's Facebook Page. Marc entered the competition with his solo track on my mind: This week expert Luthier and the designer of faith guitars himself, Patrick James Eggle, announced the winner in this video.
We were honoured to be given the opportunity to perform at Bradford's Festival of Remembrance at St George's hall last Sunday. We were part of a great line up of entertainers paying their respects to those that have served in the armed forces. A full article on the entire event can be found here This week our track 'Pretty Simple' made it onto Tom Robinson's fresh on the net favourites. The track was picked from a selection of 25 songs by readers of the website and has been given a mini review by Sam Lee.
