Unsigned Chart And New Gigs

The latest from The Unsigned Chart is that "Emma" came in at a decent number 5 which is not a bad effort at all. Hopefully we can push up the chart in the same way that You'll Be Mine did at the end of 2008. More of that later in February :)

In the meantime we've got some exciting new on the gig-side of things. We will headlining a night at the University of Greenwich's Medway campus in Chatham later next month this falls just after our gig at The Command House, one of THE premier venues in Kent. it's been a while since we last played down in Chatham so we're all looking forward to these two.

Then later in the Summer we will be making a trip up to Liverpool to perform at the only the second ever "Beatles Day". Last years event got loads of press coverage, including on BBC, Sky TV and in the NME. Keep checking the gig listing on our website www.theforeband.com and our myspace page for more details on all these gigs.

Rain

Well it's official - this has been one of the wettest winters on record. That's what the weather man told me the other day, but to be honest I didn't need him to tell me that - cos our Town Centre Showcase Tour keeps being put on hold until we get a dry weekend! First was Guildford and now it was Bromley. Oh well, I guess that what you get for living in England!

Never mind, next week is Sutton so hopefully the sun will shine then. For the timebeing we'll keep checking the forecast...

Speaking of Emma, it's still not too late to vote on the Unsigned Chart Show. We're hoping to be the first band to ever hit have back to back number ones on the Show, having got to the toppermost of the poppermost with You'll Be Mine over Christmas & New Year.

Our first trip to Bromley of 2009 is coming up this weekend. Usual time applies - should be playing from noon through to about 3pm (weather permitting of course!). Remember we're still our pretty awesome offer of buying both our albums for just a fiver. Either that or you can buy the new album Run & Hide for just £3.

Don't Forget To Vote on The Unsigned Chart!

Well it's been a while since we last bosted a blog. Not that we've been doing nothing...a lot of exciting stuff is going on behind the scenes and we hope to be announcing a whole load of new loads in the near future. Andrew has also been unwell recently which has kept us lying low for a while.

In the meantime please vote for "Emma" on The Unsigned Chart. You might remember that we finished 2008 as the number 1 on the Chart with "You'll Be Mine" and we're hoping to repeat the feat with "Emma" as well. No one have EVER topped the charts with two different songs so we really want to be the first. Here's the link:

Radio Airplay...and Fish & Chips...

Alan Haber of internet radio station BRCFP, a good friend of the Fore, has posted a couple of songs from Run & Hide on his latest playlist. For those of you yet to buy the album and what a chance to check out our songs (or just like hearing our music :)) then click on the below link:

Also, we have just received word from one of the Fore's Street Teamers that our popularity has reached greater heights - apparently we are the favourite band of the owner of the local fish & chip shop! Apparently after buying both our albums she is hooked (a bit like her fish...). All of us are now looking forward to discounted sausage and chips from now on :)

Vote for Emma on The Unsigned Chart

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Well that's the end of 2008 then! It's been a great year for the band and we're really looking forward to starting off 2009 in the same way 2008 ended.

Of course last year ended with us being Christmas Number One in the Unsigned Chart with "You'll Be Mine". We've decided to retire YBM now and gone for a song from Run & Hide which appears to have received the most attention for everyone - "Emma". How great would it be if we were the first number one of 2009 as well?! Please vote, simply by clicking on the link below:
