The Trade <The-Trade>

"Cry on my shoulder cos no-one gives a damn"

As has happened many times before for many other bands, they split and new ones are formed! In the case of the members of 'The Trade' this happened and never was there a bigger blessing!
5 guys from different backgrounds of work, music and play were all called to for a band to 'give it a go'! Why dream and wait, just try to make it happen!

Drums - Bobo Martin
Lead Guitar - Craig Murray
2nd Guitar - Liam Moir
Bass - Drew McLaren
Vocals - Ross Milne

We have known each other for years off and on.
We all knew each other could play, or at least liked to make a sound.
When we got together we had decided it was time to see what we could do and within the space of 4 months meeting once a week we had enough tracks to record our first album, Empire!
Everything just seemed to click!
It's not often that there is so much commitment and enthusiasm from all members of a band... we just love making music!

Give us a listen.
We are building an Empire!

The Trade says:

"Only 4 seats left on the two FREE buses toThe Dog on Sat, for EPLaunch, but we have another on stand by so still get in touch. " (2 days ago) me too!

Bus for Sat 2nd August! - GLASGOW
Hi abdy! As you are aware, Safe 2 Say are playing the Barrowlands 2 and The Trade are playing The Ferry in Glasgow on Sat 2nd August. To make numbers up on the bus, the two bands are hoping to head down on the bus with the fans! This means the bus will leave earlier and folk can have half a day in Glasgow doing whatever they like then gigs at night and home on the bus! We NEED to have SOLID numbers to book the bus. PLEASE email me the numbers ASAP to boff8@hotmail.com The bus will be leaving FORFAR - THE CROSS at 1.30 sharp so please be there at 1.15. The cost will be £10-£15. Depending on numbers, the more numbers the cheaper it should hopefully turn out!! Please let me know ASAP as I need to get this all sorted!! MON THE MADNESS MON THE GIGS MON THE FANS MTT MTS2S
