Thanks to everyone who turned up to last night's Liverpol gig, it was an amazing night! Ending with an emotional version of 'Will you remember me?', complete with harpist and cellist, was a fitting way to end guitarist Paul's final Favours gig. The next gig will be a special acoustic performance in Hull on Thursday and will be new guitarist Chris's first gig with the band! Click here for more details.
Next single Announced! The Favours next single will be 'Left' and will be released on 25th August. Lookout for the video nearer the time.
