What a week we have had, Guns 4' Hire are now the exclusive Guns N' Roses tribute act with Germany's largest rock/tribute booking agency, PMA Rock Heaven will now take care of all of our European tour dates. They have chosen us to represent them ahead of many others in Europe including 1 or 2 in UK because to quote Jorg Himmrich the Managing Director, "I have listened and watched many Gn'r tributes now and you are by far the closest in Europe to the original Guns n' Roses". Thanks Jorg, we are glad to be part of PMA Rock Heaven stable and look forward to touring with you soon, watch this space for dates people. OK more news, Guns 4' Hire played Festival tooin King's Lynn on Friday 2nd July to over 4,500 paople, then a full House at the New Troc, Gravesend on Saturday and then we played at Ipswich Music Day on Sunday 4th July to an Ipswich Musc Day record crowd of 37,000. What a weekend, thanks to everybody who came out to see us, we really appreciate it. Now without sounding like big heads, we have had loads and loads of reviews from this weekend and we will not be able to post them all, so we have just put a few up here.

G4'H were in the midlands this weekend. Friday in Ilkeston at the Three Horseshoes (Mick Adlers Local), great night and thanks for having us and thanks for the 230+ people who came to see us, we really appreciate it. On Saturday we headed just down the road to MFN in Shipley gate, again we played to a packed house, 500+ we think but suffice to say it was rammed. Thanks for having having us and thanks to Daz (AC/DCuk) for putting on a brilliant day and raising over 5 Grand for the help for heroes charity, Spot On.
See you back there in October people.

Hi again,
Firstly let us apologise for having not updated ours news for a while, we have been so busy, lame excuse we know. Since we last updated the site we have been to Ireland and rocked the shit out of the Emerald Isle. We had a great week and made lots of new friends who have joined us on our facebook groups, if you havent yet you should, just follow the link on our homepage. In the last few weeks we have played the some of the more prestigious venues such as Yardbirds and The Diamond, these gigs were awesome and secured new dates with these and many more venues besides, keep checking the gig page for updates.

Today I took a call from a vocal agent who began to explain that they were looking for an Axl vocal to sing on a commercial for a very famous Global brand. They explained that they had trawled all the sites and the only voice that they considered to be closest to Axl Rose was our Axl (J Dog). Justin promptly headed to London to the studio and the results will be heard very soon. Sorry this is a little vague but we have to keep hush about who the company is at the moment but keep checking back and we will make a further announcement soon.

when I would expect it, didn't come across a loo I wouldn't use!! Anyone who has been to Donnington and experienced the wood covered cess pits will know where I'm coming from :s
T Rex were excellent and were unlucky to come up against Guns for Hire - the size of the audience by the end of the set didn't do them justice. Woodstock made for a really chilled afternoon - RABF 2010
