Hello! Mr N here....
If anyone reading this is new to The Shine, quite possibly you've checked this out via a My Space friends request. Through my involvement with Gig In The Glen 2007, I've seen how successful building up a good batch of friends can be - so I applied the same principal to The Shine Site.
Every single friend invite has been personally selected by me based on interests, location, gig proximity... AND HOTNESS! Some bands use a kind of "bomber" attack where an automated programme will add countless friends. Fair game to them but I'd much rather have 500 odd hand picked friends who just might give us support at a gig than 5000 who are from Venuzuela, Peru or Siberia! Quality not quanity - that's my theory!! So, if you are reading this because you've linked from My Space - Thank You. Your friendship means a lot to The Shine!!!
In terms of Media, we've got a really cool offer coming up... The new album is complete and, welded to 4 tracks from the previous recording, makes a cracking 10 track CD. The production of the first batch of these CDs is complete, the cover artwork is complete and we're ready to roll!! Here's the deal.... The CDs will be available from the band (signed or unsigned - your choice) for the grand sum of £5!! Let's face it, that's 2 pints in old money!! Or, put another way, it's Stuart's brainchild... Oh no, he invented the £7.5 note!!
What we're also going to do is one lucky person at every gig will get the chance of a free CD. All you have to do is be there and come up and ask me... That's all, no catches, no money... nothing. BUT IT'S ONLY ONE.... Once the freebie's gone, it's a fiver for everyone else!!
Take care and hope to see you at the Alloa Real Ale Festival on 25th May or somewhere on the road in June!
