Well.......what can I say.........!! Thank you all so much for such a fantastic gig on Friday 12/12 for my birthday party - you were all fantastic and all my friends and family thought you were the most amazing band and really made the atmosphere great. Nigel now thinks he is Michael Flatley, but thats another story.......!
Thanks again - you've left me with such great memories of such a fab night - Jacqui xxx

I saw Final Demand tonight in the Singleton Swansea 19.04.08 and thought they were awesome. Tons of rock standars and modern stuff too -I loved their Snow Patrol song, The lead sIger is a star - loved drop the pilot, brown sugar, get it on, ruby, ruby, ruby, oais some might say, rem, beatles, stones - they weRe great. My wife love them.
GREAT NIGHT.

I think the band should finish with hymns and arias at the Adam tomorrow night to celebrate Wales's grand slam win, i am that confident! Looking forward to tomorrow, could be a long day, bus leaving at 10.30am. will enjoy listening to the band, can't promise i will be able to see you though!!
Maybe Rob should have a giant leek etc!!!!

I beleive you boys are in the Singleton on saturday. Will be a great place to end the day as Wales march on to another Grand Slam. Here's hoping anyway.
Never mind drop the pilot, drop the abba song!!

About the Band
Final Demand are a 5-piece rock/pop band heralding from Swansea, South Wales. The current line up dates back to the bands resurrection in 2002. Since then they have gained a keen following and a solid reputation for belting out both classic and contemporary tunes.
As we say in our live show sign-off - "Come along and catch us at the next gig if you can, we'd love to see you all again....."

What a good night last Saturday was at the Ynystawe Cricket Club for the charity event in aid of breast cancer. Great to see the place packed and everyone giving their support to the charity. Many thanks to Morriston based band Pass The Peas for getting the evening kicked off. Once we know the final total of the money raised on the night - we'll let you know.
It's another week and another gig - next Saturday night (6th Feb) we'll be at the Office in Swansea. See you there!
12th January 2010
Important: The gig this coming saturday at the Hungry Horse in Dunvant has had to be cancelled. Apparently, there have been growing noise issues at the venue and they need to take action adding soundproofing etc - and until that is complete, all live music is postponed. Let's hope they get it resolved quickly and live bands return !

Good to see many familiar faces in Charlton King's on NYE. Unfortunately, Gus was on a mix of Benelyn and brandy on the night to try and get him through after contracting the lurgy....... although by the end of the night he didn't look like he was complaining (who would after drinking that concoction all night ;-)
See you all when we're back up there in 2010.
Happy New Year to you all !

Wow - what a great night at the Vault last Saturday - and great to see so many of you there. It'll be another great party on New Year's Eve at the Charlton Kings Club up in Cheltenham next week (see Giglist). Tickets have long been sold out for this one - so it's shaping up to be a belter. Hope you all have a great time over the holidays, and a very Merry Christmas from Final Demand.

It's that time of year again - tis the season of the xmas party. Our's will be at The Vault in Swansea (under the No Sign in Wind Street) this coming Saturday (19th Dec). Should be a cracker - and a lengthy one at that (think the band starts around 9 and plays till midnight) ! Hard to believe another year has gone already (xmas is still only once a year right !?!). Hope to see you there to start the last week before xmas with a bang !
27th November 2009
It's a late-ish start for the gig at the Met Bar in Llanelli tonight with the band on sometime after 10pm. Should be a good one - see you there !
12th November 2009
Some more recent gig change news....
We will NOT be playing at the Office on Friday 11th Dec (due to the venue stopping all gigs on Fridays).
More immediately, we hope to see lots of you down in Retro this Friday night (13th Nov) where the Wales v Samoa international will be on the big screen and the band will be on a short time after that concludes. See you there !
8th October 2009
Couple of points on upcoming gigs.
Firstly, The Vault in Wind Street, Swansea, has knocked its idea of having 2 bands on a Saturday evening on the head (we did say this was a bad idea !!!). This means that we are now NOT playing there on Halloween (due to us being the midnight band) - but we WILL be playing there for a Christmas bash in December.
Secondly, we have added a late night gig at The Met Bar in Llanelli to our list following our initial gig there last Saturday. We shall be there on Friday 27th November for a late night crack ..... Hope to see you there !
As ever - please check the Giglist page for the latest information.

Well, what a fantastic experience playing The Cavern Club was last Saturday. We had a fabulous time, and it was great to see so many familiar faces there with lots of you having made your way up to Liverpool. You all looked as though you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did! Awesome! Pics will be up soon !!
We're in Gloucestershire this weekend - at the Charlton King's Club in Cheltenham. No doubt we'll see a familiar face or two there as well!
9th September 2009
Well - the gig at The Cavern Club in Liverpool is fast approaching which we're all really looking forward to. Read more .....
2nd September 2009
Just to confirm that the gig at the Coyote Bar in Swansea this coming Friday 4th is ON. There was some debate as to whether this gig would go ahead as the band will be a man down (Kev is unavoidably away that evening). However, we will be going ahead as a 4-piece for one night only. So if you want to catch this rare event - we'll see you down in the Coyote Bar on Friday.
PS> It's now only just over 2 weeks to go before we play in The Cavern, Liverpool...... more on this will follow.
17th August 2009
Some news on changes to our gig schedules......
Firstly, due to the economic downturn which is having an impact on a lot of gig venues, The Office in Swansea has now cancelled all gigs on Fridays - with the exception of the month of December. This has hit a couple of our gigs in the coming months.
Secondly, The Adam & Eve in Swansea has re-opend its doors to live music and is looking to build some momentum with live bands there once again. We shall be adding our support and playing there on Friday 2nd October. We hope to see as many of you there as possible to help in re-establishing the Adam as a great live music venue.
As ever, for the latest information - please check the Giglist.

Our website servers have been down for maintenance and upgrades during the last month (our site was readable - but could not be updated). This, combined with our holidays, has meant the site has been static for a little while. It also means that any comments left during the server upgrade will not have been registered. Apologies ...........

Great to see so many of you at the King's Head last Sunday (especially after the concerns with ticket availability prior to the event). A great night had by all again - even though it was EXTREMELY hot). As ever, thanks to Mark for looking after us so well - and yet again to Bob and Kenny who always help in setting things up at Bishop's Cleeve. We hope to be back sometime in the future.
19th May 2009
It seems that people have been unable to obtain tickets for the gig at the King's Head in Bishop's Cleeve this coming bank holiday Sunday (24th) due to them being sold out! Well, Mark (the guy who runs the place) is apparently running some more tickets off - so if you try back with them from Thursday then hopefully you can get some (suggest you call them first - 01242 673260).
In another part of the country - we hope to see lots of you at Retro this coming Friday night (22nd) down in Swansea - should be a cracker !
20th April 2009
Some more gigs have been added for Retro and The Vault in Swansea for the coming months. Please check the Giglist page for details. We hope to catch you at the Singleton this coming Saturday (25th April) !
1st Mar 2009
It appears there as been quite a bit of confusion over gigs at the Vault in Swansea recently - not just for us, but for other bands also. It seems that everything has finally been sorted out now - and we want to confirm that Final Demand WILL be playing there this coming Friday (6th March). Note - all our other gigs at the Vault have also now been confirmed and are listed in the Giglist page. Hope to see you there on Friday!
Happy St. David's Day !!
5th Jan 2009
Well, what a great night New Year's Eve was at the King's Head in Bishop's Cleeve. A huge thankyou to the very many that came along, and big thanks to the owner Mark for laying on a great evening (and great food) - and for looking after us so well. Thanks also to Bob Mac and Kenny - who made the thing happen in the first place!. Rumour has it that we'll be back in the King's Head some time in the New Year - possibly a May bank holiday, so check back in the Giglist for that. In the meantime may we wish you all a very Happy New Year from Final Demand !
Final
Went to Liverpool for the weekend, visited the Cavern Club intending to hear some local music never realised it would be local to us in Swansea!!
Brilliant night though, we both thoroughly enjoyed. Will catch you again when you are playing swansea. Give me a call if you want to come on the radio, would love to have you guys playing live in the studio.
