    Note they're using our song Photograph in the advert!

    In addition the Daily Mail is releasing a companion compilation CD and there's a VERY strong chance we'll be track on on that.. they're printing 400,000 copies and distributing for free with the paper... amazing

    Fingers crossed...

    The episode will air next Monday... tune in!

    We're also playing a gig next Sat the 15th... if you wanna see us play the song live, here's your chance.. plus we'll be playing with Storyfold, who's new single is ALL over the radio!

    No worries!

    There was a competition run by the Daily Mail. It was run back in June (I think). The reveal that it was about the apprentice wasn't until August.

    Of the hundreds of bands that entered, only 30 were shortlisted, then 20 were chosen to take part in the apprentice aspect of the show... of those a few made it on the air and only one (us) is having their music on the ads, etc.

    Hope that clears things up... Ireland is FULL of this sort of thing, but you have to always be on the look out... and have some decent recordings!

    :)

    We are track 3 on the winning CD! Yay. :)

    No gigs in Dundalk, but we're playing tomorrow night at the Grand Social with Storyfold. Should be jammed. Maybe even sell out. ;)

    Gonna be professionally filmed (6 cameras!) and recorded! Should be killer! ;)
