The Sarah Coloso Band is a musical ensemble from Girvan, South Ayrshire, and its members recently found themselves getting much more exposure than they’d expected thanks to a banner that was produced by banner printing. Ayr and the wider Ayrshire region has a thriving music scene and bands like The Sarah Coloso Band show that there is plenty of raw talent to be enjoyed in local live music venues.
At a recent gig in Dundee, where the band members met at university, they displayed their eye-catching banner that features the band’s name and were surprised to find fans taking photographs of this to upload to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Harry Sheddon, the bass player in The Sarah Coloso Band, commented on this, saying:
“[The crowds] were there because they heard us, they liked us, and they stayed, and they were all very complimentary about it. There were people taking photos of our banner and sticking them up on Facebook, and we didn’t even ask them to!”
Sheddon was recently invited to play as part of the band for the ceremony marking the end of sporting events in London this summer – an offer that he accepted with relish. Members of The Sarah Coloso Band have now graduated from Dundee university and Sheddon has returned to his Ayrshire roots, but the band intends to carry on making music and its first EP can be bought via the band’s Facebook page.
