SAINT ANNOUNCE DATES AT UK’s PREMIER FREE MUSIC FESTIVAL IN

Liz Toone Milton Keynes, Wednesday 1 June, 2005 - SAINT, the Brussels based Rock/Pop band are pleased to announce that they will be playing two gigs on the same day near Milton Keynes on Sunday June 12th 2005.

Following on from the successful launch of their debut album "Bones & Telephones" and recent appearances in Brussels, Barcelona, London, Dublin and Amsterdam, Saint have confirmed they will be appearing FREE at Folk-on-the-Green in Stony Stratford at 2.15pm on Sunday 12th June.

This appearance will be followed by a performance of their debut album, "Bones and Telephones" as part of ‘Stony Live’ on the same day at the Cock Hotel Marquee Suite, Stony Stratford from 8.00pm (tickets available from Andante Blues, High Street, Stony Stratford, price £4.00).

Saint lead singer, Steve Jones said "Saint are really excited about playing at both major events in the Milton Keynes music calendar on the same day. Folk-on-the-Green is always a great event and the opportunity to debut "Bones and Telephones" during Stony Live should make for a fantastic gig".

Saint, comprising of Steve on vocals & guitar, Laurent on lead guitar, Philou on bass guitar & Oli on Drums are all highly accomplished musicians. To give the new listener a hint to the style of music that Saint play, imagine a blend of Radiohead and Coldplay with Placebo and U2 that results in the creation of both powerful and touching songs.

Fans of Saint and Saint newcomers alike will be pleased to know that several tracks from "Bones and Telephones" plus other well known Saint tracks can be heard at their website, www.saint.be

Saint have been playing several major European cities with its brand of melodic pop/rock for sometime and have now developed a considerable following in their home town of Brussels following the release of their debut album "Bones & Telephones". Appearances on Belgian TV and Radio have also swelled the band’s following.

The last two years have seen the band set up their own recording and publishing label in order to penetrate the increasingly closed music market.

As a result, Saint have been able to release their debut album – "Bones and Telephones" (available at www.soundoo.com, price £10.00) and regularly pack out venues in their base city of Brussels, but also in Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland and Holland.

Using a confluence of personal life experience, belief and viewpoint, with good music so as to make a connection with like-minded audiences, is the over-riding ethos driving Saints’ creative process.

Saint invites all music listeners to be a part of their voyage.
