BRITISH MUSIC FANS CLIMB ABOARD IN THE USA

About Me

Hello and welcome! Yes it's true for the last 4 years I have clearly had far too much time on my hands and so used it to have fun on the road in the USA with my guitar and fellow British music fans in our eccentric tour bus at 45mph....our wonderful pimped out classic British double-decker we call 'The Duchess'. For those of you who haven't caught our shows or seen our tour on tv or online check out the BritBus Tour website and all will make sense. We have been joined on the road by The Kaiser Chiefs, The Magic Numbers, Paul Oakenfold, and The Duke Spirit joined us on the bus along our routes. Every night we open up the bus after the show so that music fans can climb aboard and hear the latest UK sounds on our huge Kicker Audio System and watch the music videos on our plasma screens in the upper deck. We love to meet new people so keep your eyes peeled for a very large red bus heading your way. Each year I have invited new talented British acts to join me including since 2004 Halflight, Ellie Lawson, Sylvie Lewis, Seamus McLoughlin, Proxy and this year Jyrojets, The Crave and Popup. If you think you should join me on the road in 2008 visit www.myspace.com/thebritbus NOW and enter your details for free!
