More about Unsigned Pirates...

Where are you from?

Blackpool

Who plays what?

Andy - lead singer
Marko - acoustic guitar

Anyone got any bad habits?

Bad haircuts - and Andy can't sing and play guitar at the same time

What's the band's history so far?

Been together for about two years now with breaks in between. Started out in a local bar - Scrooges - just playing a few covers for the owner as we knew him. Since then Andy began learning guitar, wrote the first song Without You, and recorded it for a competition. The song got out on the internet through friends and word of mouth, and everyone seemed to love it. Since then we've an album ready to record, have been playing lots of local gigs, in Blackpool and Preston, and have started hosting an acoustic night for local acts called Acoustic Soup, which has been a huge success.

Style and influences?

Acoustic based music, with Andy hugely influenced by U2 in his singing and songwriting. Mark's more of an Oasis fan, thinks he's the bad boy of the group

Best moment so far?

Having a crowd singing along to our songs at the last gig. Or arguing during recording of Without You, felt like we were Lennon and McCartney!

Worst/most embarrassing moment so far?

Forgetting many words to many songs many times, even our own!

Anything else we should all know about?

Pirates are better than robots.
