Worship band Onehundredhours to tour UK with hitmaker Daniel Bedingfield.

IN AN unusual development it has been announced that rock worship band Onehundredhours will be the support act on pop star Daniel Bedingfield's national UK tour in 2005. Harpenden-based Onehundredhours had the album 'Stronger Than My Heart' released by Survivor Records earlier this year. Said the band's lead singer Tre Shepherd about the unprecedented opportunity, "We were invited to do the tour by Daniel and his management. The original idea was thrown out at me one night late on the tour bus by Daniel and his tour manager late last year. I sort of laughed it off and dismissed the idea at the time, not really expecting it to come to anything. A few months later, during the recording of 'Stronger Than My Heart', one of our producers, Tom Mills, was at a gig we were playing in a Student Uni bar somewhere up north and during the break between sets, he grabbed me and said that if we got asked to do Daniel's tour again, we should say yes immediately. Sure enough, Dan and his management were persistent and asked us again in April while Dan was in LA recording... and we said yes."

The 14-city tour with Bedingfield, whose second album 'Second First Impression' is currently in the national album chart, kicks off on 8th March in Nottingham and concludes on 27th March in Glasgow. For ticket information visit www.bookingsdirect.com.
