Inspired trio set for launch
Date published: 06 April 2009
INDIE band Twisted Wheel will celebrate their part in a national ad campaign with an exclusive album launch gig in Oldham.
The Saddleworth trio are tipped for the top and are currently supporting The Enemy on their UK tour.
The band — Jonny Brown (guitar and vocals), Richard Lees (bass) and Adam Clarker (drums) — was invited to take part in HMV’s My Inspiration campaign.
The campaign asks singers and songwriters to choose their most inspirational lyric of all time.
Twisted Wheel chose The Zombies 1964 track “She’s Not There” and have become the first group to record a version of its chosen song.
The band’s self-titled debut album is released next Monday and there will be an acoustic performance at HMV’s Oldham store to celebrate the launch on Wednesday, from 1pm.
They will play tracks from the new album before a second performance at HMV’s Manchester store at 6pm.
Other artists that have taken part in the HMV My Inspiration campaign include Morrissey, Paul McCartney, Take That, and Duffy.
