Minor spam alert (pls remove Tighty if you think it not appropriate)... It's been a while since I posted on Blonde but someone asked me if I knew any online communities I could share this with and you lot were all I could think of.
In late November, Craig Gill, the drummer from the Inspiral Carpets passed away suddenly at the age of 44. Needless to say it was a huge shock for the fans, the band and his family.
A group of fans got together shortly afterwards and thought getting an Inspirals song to the Chirstmas number one would be a good way of honouring Craig and his contribution to the UK and Manchester music scenes. What started as a small online campaign has mushroomed, getting coverage from national press, support from a number of premiership clubs - you may have heard Saturn 5 belting out City,Utd and Liverpool games in the past few weeks. The campaign also has support from a growing number of celebs.
In order to make this work though... people need to share and download the single - Saturn 5. It would be great if the good peeps at Blonde could get behind this and download / share as they see fit. Even if you don't like the music if would be one in the eye for Cowell to get a Indie tune up there come Christmas day.
On a side note it may be worth a quick tenner on this at the bookies as well. Outsider at the moment but the campaign has really geared up in the past day or two. I'm sure its value at 20s in some shops.
Thanks!
