redbandit599 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Hi all I've previously posted that, being a jammy git, one my bands TRANSACTION X has blagged our way to releasing a charity single. Well we all are colleagues and work for Barclaycard and have subsequently won through an internal competition to play Hyde Park (British Summer Time) this Sunday. Previous days events have included Taylor Swift, The Strokes, The Who. However, we are on the hottest bill supporting Mr Tumble and Peppa Pig Our single is released on Sunday too, all profits from the sale will be doubled by Barclaycard and paid to Free The Children, who aim to free children from exploitation and poverty via education and sponsorship world wide. The single can be pre-ordered on Amazon on the link below, and is on iTunes too. If you can, please download, maybe like us on Facebook and share too? Thanks all for anything and all that you do!

4-string-thing Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Great stuff, I'll be buying/sharing.... I once supported Basil Brush at the Loughborough Christmas Lights switch on.... Biggest gig I've ever done, but I came away a little disappointed after finding out he's not a real fox! Quote

redbandit599 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Cheers guys! We do have this strange mental picture of getting a toddler mosh pit going, with Peppa Pig in the middle. Our band leader is desperate to shout "Right kids, get the pig!!!" We are on the second stage and only for about 20 mins, hopefully it'll be fun though. Quote
Mickeyboro Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Given your forum name, maybe a chorus of Red Red Swine would be appropriate? Quote
redbandit599 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Ooh, that one's almost painful. You definitely have to download the track to make up for that... Quote
anDy LAKIN Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 no war pig would go down better with all the kids Quote
redbandit599 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 War Pig - Toddlers gathered in their masses, with their nappies full of rashes... You've got me at it now. Right, here's the rules - Puns about Peppa Pig, Mr Tumble etc are [u]very[/u] welcome. However, every pun will cost you a 99p download. We're on iTunes (as well as the Amazon link above), though I still can't work that. Search Transaction X and download Umbrella (or the double a-side, fancy eh!) Quote
redbandit599 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Right, so either the puns have dried up or BC has suddenly turned tight - both of which I find hard to believe . This is the stage I'll have my 20 mins of pork based fame on come Sunday, somewhat shi**ing myself!! Quote

redbandit599 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Good call that, though I hear she's a bit of a diva so may not be up for it. Will do my best! Quote
BILL POSTERS Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Liked. [b]But who the hell is Peppy Pig ?[/b] Quote
redbandit599 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 Well Hyde Park went very well, we had our 20 mins of fame to about 250 people in total and it was a real buzz. Also got to play through a big ol' Ampeg rig. Trouser flappingly nice! Blooming Peppa Pig didn't show though! At least not to see us anyway, these divas. Did get to see Mr Tumble having his lunch, and nipping to the loo back stage so suitably star struck So, the single is out and you can download now, please! All the links are on the below, which makes us look all very corporate and professional - trust me, we ain't....

Will try again later. Quote
