Friendly Fires – FREE gig tickets up for grabs!

Friendly Fires

Here’s a fun competition for you. I have a pair of tickets for the Friendly fires gig at The forum, Kentish Town for Friday night (15th May). I can no longer go, because I’ll be about a hundred miles away at the time, so I’d like to give them away to someone deserving.

All you need to do to win the tickets is to add a comment to this post (below), telling me why I should give them to you. The person with the most convincing reason by 5pm on Thursday, 14th will win them… simple as that!

Be sure to include your email address in the space provided, because I will email the tickets to the winner.
