One for all your thieves out there - please pass this message on from The Spinto Band to all your thieving friends. They're trying to locate a much loved mandolin which was nicked during a gig in Manchester. They have issued the following note...
Dear friends,
Tonight we experienced a tragic loss. During this evening's performance at Manchester Academy 3 (08/23/06), somebody stole our Mandolin from the stage. This instrument has little monetary worth, but provides a wealth of sentimental value to us. It is a Kay electric mandolin with a wood sunburst finish, white pickgaurd, and a crack in the headstock. We are prepared to offer healthy reward upon its return. In addition, if the Mandolin is received before we play Reading / Leeds, the person who delivers it will be offered tickets to those events. This is truly a sad day for The Spinto Band. If you have any information regarding its whereabouts or wish to express your sympathy, please contact us.
Yours sincerely,
The Spinto Band.
