Well Night Parade didn't win the UK Battle of the Bands competition but we gave a great account of ourselves and most noteably
Matt won a bass guitar courtesy of Gibson Guitars for being the best bass guitarist at the show!!! Thoroughly deserved we might add.
The band also mingled with the likes of superstar keyboard man of "Yes" fame...Rick Wakeman, and made some great friends and contacts alike.
Thanks to all those who made the journey to Birmingham.

Last night we supported Sandi Thom on the last night of her UK tour and we got a great reception
from the crowd. Sandi was very good to us, even leaving a really nice note on our dressing room door.

to everyone who made the night a success for us. We know who you are!!!

do but.......we can't wait.

Our next bit of news is that Night Parade will be filming a video for the song 'Demons'. This
again is due to take place within the next 3 months or so. If you would like to be in this video
please drop us a line via email, My Space or Facebook and we'll definately invite you to play. It
will be filmed by Amber Film, and is to be set in Formby,
Merseyside. The idea is still in development but we will keep you posted with its progress.

Our first bit of news is that we have found a new drummer to replace the talents of Ant Brown.
As of our next live appearance and onwards, Sean Holland will be impressing you with his immense amount of talent
and drumming skills. Sean 'The Quiet Man' Holland has been involved in many bands before and his drumming
talents are in no doubt, so we'd all like you to make him feel very welcome in the months
to come. So at our next gig we would like you all to be nice to him and tell him how good he is, because
damn it.....he really is.
We would also like to say a big thankyou to Ant for bein part of Night Parade but due
to the fact he is so in demand could no longer commit to us. We all wish him the very best and we'll still
see him around. Take Care N.
