The Blackout
The Blackout have gone from virtual obscurity to a national institution over the past two years, and we have to admit, the Welsh lovelies are one of our favourite bands!
Formed in 2003, their current album The Best In Town is without a doubt, one of the best albums of 2009, and we’re over the moon to be having them in our office next month.
Quite how we’re going to fit Sean Smith, Gavin Butler, Matthew Davies, James Davies, Rhys Lewis and Gareth Lawrence into our cosy little office is beyond me, but hopefully it will mean clambouring over a few laps, which of course, we‘re a big fans of… especially when it’s a tasty looking Welshman.
