My boyfriends band are looking to do a small tour around the sheffield, lincoln, wakefield etc area at the end of April.

 

They hail from luton in Bedfordshire and i just came across your thread and was wondering if you could help us out at all with getting them a few gigs there?

 

They do have a myspace (what band doesn't) that I can't actually post the full address on here due to this sites rules but you can find them by putting myspace.com/ourdivide. They are a fantastic up and coming band with so much talent it makes me giddy!

 

They are a 6 piece band with dual vocals from two of the best front men I have seen. Their lively set makes everyone want to join in and their interactive banter makes them a band that everyone will love!

 

They have gigged in sheffield before in september 09 so they aren't complete strangers and their bassist is actually from there.

 

if you could give me some idea of how to get them on to a decent bill it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kirsty
