********************

After meeting during a weekly acoustic Open Mic Night at the University of Sussex, John Fitzpatrick and Steve Boniface began playing and writing together soon after, specialising in self-penned, upbeat songs and offbeat covers. The pair were part of indie rock band 'Johnny Fitz Promotion', playing gigs along the South Coast and in London, but after a year or so missed their acoustic roots and split from the group. After playing as a duo for 8 months the band expanded to include Jo Walters on piano and Pete 'Panache' McFarlane on drums.



With a mix of upbeat acoustic music, unusual takes on well-known artists and audience focused shows, they are gathering a following which they hope will continue to grow and grow. 2008 started with amazing success in the 'Beat the Mix' chart which Les Valentine stormed, holding the 1 slot for weeks at a time.

This year has also seen them playing great support slots for touring US band Levy and up and coming UK funk/soul outfit 'Two Spot Gobi', and it's only fixing to get bigger with the nationwide release of their first single, Nervous, on September 29th.

Now they invite you on their journey as they continue to develop their own unique mix of pop, rock, silliness, offbeat covers, not writing a set list and the odd 'your mum' joke.

The fruit of their artistic labours is now available on a FREE CD! Just ask and one shall be sent.

So, to get in touch to order a CD, say hello, heckle, find out the latest news and gossip and/or say something meaningful you can post a comment for them, send them a message, email them - band@lesvalentine.com or join The 'Les Valentine' News Room on Facebook

wow really?? That would be pretty amazing!! I would need a lot of help....being as my guitar isn't in the UK with me! Perhaps we could even perform together or something? Write a little song...do some harmonies...it would be sweet. Anyways - it sounds like a great idea - i just would have to have some help. I just sent you a message with my contact info...in case we want to talk about this more! : )
Cheers - Michelle
