The band New Model Army had some of its gear stolen last night in Bilston.
Please keep your eyes and ears open in the hope some or all of it can be retrieved.

THE ANNUS HORRIBILIS CONTINUES

THE ANNUS HORRIBILIS CONTINUES We all really enjoyed our first gig with new bass player Ceri Monger. Unfortunately, our van, parked in the Holiday Inn Express carpark, was broken into over night and most of the band's guitars and small items were stolen. These include all Marshalls Gibson Les Pauls and Justin's two Lowdens that had previously survived the fire(!). We are putting together enough equipment together for the show tonight in manchester, Strummercamp and are currently dealing with police and our unfortunate insurance company. We will be releasing all the serial numbers of the stolen items shortly and would be very grateful for any help in retrieving them.New Model Army


I will post up full details of serial numbers as soon as they are released.

Cheers

Why would you leave that stuff in a van in the holiday inn express car park? Don't get me wrong, it sucks that they were taken.
