Our band,The Amber Herd,who you may recall from the Brighton and Glasgow NPF shows last year have a tiny chance of supporting The Magic Numbers at an open air gig in Nottingham at the end of the month-if we get enough votes! If time and inclination allow,it'd be ace if you could please visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/beat and tick our name.If we get it and I see you there the beers are on us! Thanks a lot.

Naughty!

You going to get a better soundman than in Glasgow? That way you will blow the Magic Numbers off the stage!

Unfortunately i was the "soundman" in Glasgow, and im not a sound engineer in any way shape or form (the actual sound guy had gone home to pick up a new amp and grab a quick lunch, leaving me in charge until the second sound guy came along...... but he was an hour late)

apologies

In response to the above two posts-
Joe-no worries mate-it sounded ok from where we were stood!
Andy-thanks a lot,bud.Darkside's vote is worth its weight in gold.If I tell the gig organisers that the mighty Stevie G out of Darkside is behind us then the gig is surely ours!!
Thanks so much for your support everyone.

Thanks a lot Jonesy.I'll get you a pint in at Rog at the MEN.
The deadline for voting has now passed so thanks to everyone who ticked our box,as it were.Be sure that I'll be posting back if we get the gig!

Hi Neil, sorry I didnt know about this until now otherwise Id have definitely voted for you, I do find the Magic Numbers very enjoyable, they have a kind of Belle & Sebastian quality to them but not such a nightmare to set up!

I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for the final result.

Thanks for your message of support Stu.We missed out on the gig by one vote!!

Well,maybe considerably more than one but,anyway,we learnt today that we didn't get it.Boo! Never mind.Thanks millions for your support everyone.xx
