The new look Fairey website has hit the interweb...

Fairey
 

The Fairey Band has announced the launch of their new look website.

Enthusiast

Aimed at the Faireys enthusiast as much as the casual surfer, the new site provides a wealth of historical information, photographs and recordings, in addition to all the up-to-date information on the current band.

The new site can be found at www.faireyband.com.

In addition to the revamped site, Faireys has become one of the first to engage with the new fan pages on Facebook too...4BR

Facebook

In addition to the revamped site, Faireys has become one of the first to engage with the new fan pages on Facebook too, which it hopes to keep its signed-up ‘fans’ updated with all the very latest happenings.

Revamped

The revamped internet presence is the result of a combined effort between Nick Walkley and Andrew Oetegenn, who have both volunteered their time and skills to ensure Fairey’s ongoing revival extends beyond the concert and contest platforms.

The band’s Acid Brass project is also due for a fresh image.
