We wish to thank Susy Thomas, The Storys, Mann Friday and The Deadbeats for helping to make our last event held at Bush Hall on the 22nd March 2006 a success. We managed to pack the Bush Hall even though we only had 5 days to change venue due to a management problem at the Clapham Grand. The Bush Hall was full of music lovers and music industry professionals which UseYourEars.com helped network together on the night.

If you missed the gig you can sample the atmosphere and sounds by watching our video clip and photos of the event and reading some of our testimonials which will be available soon. We are already thinking of the next event and will keep you all updated if you register with us now. For further details or to play at one of our events please contact us.

Fresh from playing the XFM Outbreak Festival, Mann Friday is the latest addition to the Use Your Ears experience and the London based band already have a big following. We feel it won't be long before we have some very good news to report.

The band is already topping the unsigned band charts with 3 number 1's as voted by the public. They created a huge buzz when they played the Edingburgh Fringe Festival and have broken the attendance record at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, sold out gigs at the Halfmoon Putney and a near capacity Saturday night headline at the Barfly. Add to this their radio play and feature on Sky News and you know this is a band to use your ears on.

Susy has worked with some of the industry’s most established figures, including Dave Stewart, Lestyn Polson, Roger Taylor and the late Michael Kamen. Such encounters not only provided inspiration, but extended Susy’s musical knowledge and influenced the artistic path she has chosen.

Susy will be giving us a preview of her debut album and playing an acoustic set at our next UseYourEars Live Music Night on the 22nd March.

The Storys is four singer songwriters all taking lead vocals on different songs, their sound is both fragile and intense, underpinned by a dark lyrical edge. They can turn from tender country-tinged ballad one minute to an as-wide-as-the-ocean stomp the next - in the same category as classic harmony vocal bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young and The Beatles, all of whom also had multiple singers.

The Storys have signed worldwide to Warner Music and their Korova label will be releasing the next single "Be By Your Side" on March 13th and the album on March 27th. The Storys will also be the 'special guests' on Elton John’s forthcoming 11-date UK stadium and arena tour!

Some singer songwriters have great lyrics others have great melodies David has them both. Add to this a look which would be at home on the poster adorned walls of Stereophonics, Coldplay, Travis fans and the mix is perfect.
