   About Silver Spurs
Silver Spurs have been wrenching the hearts of south Wales gig-goers since the autumn of 2006, using a special combination of banjo magic and three part vocal trickery. Influenced as much by the hardcore lifestyles of the country greats as by their music, Silver Spurs are genuinely living what they sing. Ellie even sleeps in her country-lady boots. A collective dictatorship of songwriters who sideline under silly names like Zumbar and The Gentle Good, the band mix up the best of Appalachian bluegrass, Bakersfield honkytonkin and sweet Nashville harmonies with a distinctive Cardiffian dark sense of humour. If you find yourself hosting an occasion that requires both hilarity and despair, or you just want the closest thing you’re going to get to a hoedown in the deep South (of Wales), we'll play for payment of any kind, as long as it either tastes nice or makes life more interesting.

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards

STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STAR

DRAW ME STORIES
