Guernsey natives COURAGE HAVE COURAGE have had a flying start to their career since forming in early 2011. Their bright and energetic music has won them fans and critical acclaim from Kerrang! Radio and Magazine and BBC Introducing.
In June, they completed a successful national tour supporting a self-titled mini album; their exciting and engaging live performances earning them a Main Stage festival slot at Guernsey Festival of Performing Arts, alongside the likes of Frank Turner, The Gaslight Anthem, Ocean Colour Scene, Example and Primal Scream. In August they played on the BBC Introducing stage, alongside Ed Sheeran and Rizzle Kicks at Reading & Leeds festivals, garnering positive reviews from national, regional and online press and cementing their reputation as an exciting new live act.
Not resting on their laurels the band have now been confirmed as a support act for Save The Children’s ‘The Biggest Band’ event at Wembley Arena on 25th March 2012 (date subject to change).
Bassist Ollie Smith comments, “To be involved in such an amazing event with a great cause reached through music is an honour, especially at such an early stage in our career.”
‘The Biggest Band’ is a live event and recording where they set out to make music history by recording and releasing a track for the UK charts, and smashing a Guinness World Record with 6,500 children participating.
The Biggest Band and it¹s 6,500 band members collectively achieved their dream with their first UK single reaching number 21 in the UK independent charts and smashing the Guinness World Record for the ‘Most people singing live on a Radio Broadcast’. The 2012 Biggest Band live event is expected to be even bigger with the band expecting over 10,000 singers at Wembley Arena. Not only will the Biggest Band be breaking records again, 100% of the download profits will go directly to the amazing Save the Children charity.
“We are expecting the 2012 Biggest Band event to be even bigger than 2011, our goal is to raise even more money for our great charity Save the Children, improve on our chart position in the UK charts and break another Guinness World Record. Our aim as always is to bring together thousands of people and raise thousands of pounds in one unique and unforgettable experience and you can be part of it! ”.
