The Fords

About Me



We are The Fords and we are different.
We are The Fords and we've written a new EP, but haven't got round to recording it yet.
We are The Fords and we've finally got some real merchandise:

We are The Fords and they're only 20p
We are The Fords and we play loud and fast.
We are The Fords and we try to get away with being terrible musicians.
We are The Fords and we are:

But some nights, we are:

WE WILL PLAY ANYWHERE!! FOR FREE!! AT YOUR PARTY ETC ETC. JUST GIVE US A BELL. Read our blog too, I actually bother to update it..

This is a really nice idea - a sort of gig sharing site. It may be balls, but we're yet to find out as they are developing it now. Sign up anyway, it might work ..
