Gareth
“Intense lyrics and worthy aims, but also a singer-songwriter you could relax to in the small hours, soothed by the mellow vocal tones and letting the smooth guitar riffs roll over you.” The Courant. “A fully fledged have-guitar-will-travel journeyman. Songs of faith and justice ring out…” Cross Rhythms.

Rob
Rob combines edgy acoustic rock with soulful ballads that will both challenge you and bring you hope: “ an amazingly natural performer…brutally honest with a rough spirituality that has been tested and found true. Somehow this only adds to the power of his songs” Mike Rimmer – Cross Rhythms

So What is fairtrade?
It's a way of ensuring that marginalised producers get a fair price for their produce. When you buy products with the Fairtrade logo you can be sure that the profit from that sale will benifit the comunities that produced it. More than that Fair Trade organisations work with marginalised producers and workers helping them move from a position of vulnerability to security and economic self-sufficiency.
and the tour...?
Since 2005 singer/songwriters Gareth Davies-Jones & Rob Halligan have toured the UK raising awareness of Fair Trade. The shows, promoted by local Fair Trade and church groups and supported by Traidcraft, are often run alongside a Fair Trade cafe. Apart from the message in the music there's supporting literature and Fair Trade crafts and snacks available as well.
We'll be performing together again in a series of concerts in the Autumn of 2007 and it would be great if you could be there and be a part of the tour. The Fairtrade tour 2005
