Ian and Tim Quit Idiot3
Wednesday 11th of March 2009
Ian 'Morten Harket' Hardwick and Tim 'Paul Young' Hardwick quit Idiot3 on Monday to join the Funny Money Belly Band and record the Comic Relief single 'Belly Laughs (Food For Thought)'.
After laying down some silky vocals they resigned from the Funny Money Belly Band, after the manager refused to pay them an undisclosed fee. In cash. They have now re-joined Idiot3.
DOWNLOAD THE COMIC RELIEF SINGLE FROM THIS FRIDAY! It's brilliant and features some amazing musical talent. Plus Ian and Tim. Here's the details!
South Coast webzines SouthSCENE and MiNTSOUTH have teamed up with Grant Sharkey from Toupé, Geoff Swan and Neil Kennedy from The Ranch Production House and added the amazing Pete Croissant's Audio Mastering and a whole host of local musicians to record an alternative record to raise money for this year's Comic Relief.
A spokesman for the project said, "We thought it was about time there was a funny song (as opposed to The Saturdays!?). Ya know, it is Comic Relief after all!".
The song will be available to download on 13th March from MiNTSOUTH.
Join the Comic Relief Facebook Group and keep up-to-date.
We've done all the hard work now. BUY IT and make us proud!
