Yass! Jacqui and Steve have given Memory Fest ’16 another signed CD, this time by the brilliant Steel Threads.
Steel Threads are an alternative Acoustic Rock band using Guitar, Violins, Bass and Vocal harmony to create uniqueness.
An original band, Steel Threads perform their own unique blend of acoustic rock and folk. Formed in 2011 they pride themselves on their strong songwriting and energetic performances.
- Neil Wardleworth – Guitar / Vocals / Drum
- Laura Wilcockson – Violin / Vocals
- Tracy Beardmore – Bass / Violin / Vocals
The band’s debut album ‘Timing Is Everything‘ was released in June 2012 and the band has gigged throughout the UK, building a strong following ever since. The strength of support is evidenced by the fact that the second album ‘For Those Who Are Left‘ was pledge funded by fans and reached its target much more quickly than the band expected. In October 2014 the band released a ‘Live EP‘, featuring songs from the first 2 albums performed live as a duo.
Their third studio album, The Rule Of Three was released in December 2015 and it is this one we will have up for grabs in our raffle on 1 May 2016 at Club Bliss. Make sure you buy plenty of raffle tickets to be in with a chance to win this great CD.
