2. My chosen band are the Sharps, a local unsigned band from Norwich. They're made up of: Paul Edwards- Vocals Kieran Morgan- Guitar Darby Dorras- Guitar Callum Morgan- Bass Sam Evans- Drums On their Myspace ( www.myspace.com/thesharps ) they list their influences as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Foo Fighters, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Arctic Monkeys. This covers genres from classic rock to indie. From listening to the tracks they have uploaded I would describe them as indie. I think they could be very popular because their mucic is easy to listen to and understand. My favourite track is 'Sleepless Nights'. They have played live gigs all over the UK, and have played locally at the B2, Brickmakers, Playhouse and Norwich Arts Centre. All the tracks they have uploaded have been recorded at Ashwood Studios, also in Norwich. On the Myspace is an email address for Darby so I have emailed him this message: Request to use Sleepless Nights.

For media my coursework is to make a music video for a local unsigned band. I was looking on Myspace for a band to use and I found your page and really liked the songs, so I was wondering if it would be okay for me to use Sleepless Nights in my project? I'll keep you and the rest of the band updated on how my project is going and what my ideas are if you'd like that, and will include your band name and Myspace in the credits of the video. It would be really great and help me a lot if you give me permission to use the song, and if you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be great =) Thankyou for reading.
