Welsh rockers FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND have had a most full-on year.
Winning the 'Artist Of The Year' Award at this years BT Digital Music Awards (seeing off competition from the likes of Muse, Razorlight, Bloc Party and Natasha Bedingfield!), the guys have been touring non-stop in support of the release of their third gold-selling album 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves', which hit the Charts at #3!
Quite literally living on the road, they've toured the States on The Warped Tour, taken their own tour throughout Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand and hit Europe on numerous occasions.
But what about us? you might ask......Well, now they're back!
The boys are heading home to spread some FFAF love this Christmas with a full UK tour lined up, climaxing with a mammoth homecoming gig at the Cardiff CIA!
With an incredibly exciting 2008 planned (juicy details coming soon!) these 5 lads from the Welsh Valleys are very much in the festive mood!
Come and join them!!
Support on all the dates comes from Kids In Glass Houses and City Sleeps.
