The Soldiers of Fortune are a crack unit of songwriters, remixers, producers and musicians.
We now have some tracks online. So please listen, leave some comments, add them to your page if you like them and tell your friends - we need some word of mouth support! We'll be changing the tracks regularly for some of our own stuff and some remixes we've done of other bands so keep checking back for new, exclusive and extraordinary bits and bobs. Any messages will be replied to, you lucky devils.
We are currently in the rehearsal studios getting ready for our globally anticipated live launch, which should be soon....
Stay cool, won't you.
Hey Gav Glad to hear it. I've played Leonards before and am actually signed up to play for the same guy (Mark) at 26 Smithfield next Saturday if you can make it down - 3 floors of bands, its an opening night thing, looks good.
I'm playing as a duo now, waiting for rest of band to return from Australia. Been gigging quite a bit.
Would be good if you could make it along, I'll put 22nd in my diary and try and make it - send me a reminder Cheers Ant
Great first gig last night guys! Can't make Farringdon cos I'm going up North that weekend, but I'm sure you'll be even better second time round!! Keep up the good work!! xx
I would like to take this early opportunity to wish you and your fans a very Happy Christmas from the Holy Land! May your New Year will be filled with much good health, wealth and happiness! All the best - Paul!
Hey Gav - how're things? I see you have a guitar and a bass on board now; going well? Gonna gig soon? If you're about, I have a gig on Monday night at the Old Queen's Head in Islington with a pretty good line-up, all acoustic stuff. Cheers Ant

No man, I am not singing in those tracks... I do not have the gift of a good singing voice, plus I would sound more like Enrique Iglesias for obvious reasons!
Bright Soul 7” sold out. Can still download from iTunes. Link on Jersey’s myspace.
What they’re saying…
The Sun “A plumber by day, Jersey is set to kiss kitchen sinks goodbye with his gravelly tones and Dylanesque guitar. This boy is going to be as big as fellow Leicester lads Kasabian.”
NME “Jersey has KOKO eating out of his guitar hardened hands, storming through Oasis go honky tonk rollock rockers like Shotgun Times to nothing less than adulation”
Hi Gav I've got a gig on Friday 24th for Big Note @ The Red Room in Piccadilly if you are about; would be good to grab a pint and see how things are going with you guys. Cheers Ant
Check the page for new gigs, I'm sorting a few at the moment. Got one in Clapham on Wed if you're free. Band is good, two of our number are on travels but we are practising as a three for the moment - www.myspace.com/thedonkeyandthetulip
Alright? I'm playing tonight at about 8.30 at Leonard's, 42 Northampton Road, Clerkenwell, EC1R 0HU. Have a look on www.crucialmusicclub.co.uk for info and flyers. cheers
