Howdy Folks,

One of our tunes is now being used by The Cumberland Building Society in their current TV advertising campaign. Only veiwable in the Cumbria area on ITV. Also veiwable on the Cumberland Building Society's website, www.cumberland.co.uk
We even got paid for it. How cool is that!!!

good stuff, that must give you a real buzz. I'd be interested to know
1) how you managed to swing it and
2) how much you got for it (pm me this if you don't want to advertise it, but I am v interested what the going rate is)

cheers

Hi Steve,

We were approached after someone from the Cumberland marketing team attended one of our gigs. He loved the music and one thing lead to another!

Great stuff, just make sure you record a copy of it for keeps.

Some of our songs were used on TV programs and adverts. The best was to advertise Casio G Shock watches in Spanish cinemas. I think we got paid £500 for it which we were quite happy about as it paid for our first single.
