Fresh from a storming set on the final night of the Solidarity gigs, General Fiasco were buzzing and ready for a little more. Owen, main vocalist and bassist of the band, grabbed Johnny Black from La Faro’s guitar (shhh) and played ‘Please Take Your Time’ while we waited for our Guinness to settle (look out for Enda, General Fiasco’s lead guitarist, at the end of the clip)

You may remember Bandwidth’s work with General Fiasco waaaaaay back for the ATL TV spot on an early demo version of their breakthrough hit Rebel Get By. The guys have come along way since then – working crowds and winning them over night after night on a support slot with One Night Only – and gathering a small army of well deserved fans while they’re at it. But put an acoustic guitar and a pint in front of them and you realise their enthusiasm for live music only gets stonger with time.

That’s the spirit of Bandwidth – the essence of the performance and the performer shining through. That magic of a live gig bottled and youtubed. Who else coudl do it better? Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to bring you… one guitar and a guy from General Fiasco… Magic.
