Lee lands endorsement deal with rufus guitars
Wirral based guitar manufacturers "Rufus Guitars" have offered Lee an endorsement deal and are making him his own customised signature model. He now features on their artists page http://www.rufusguitars.co.uk/artists.php. He had this to say about it: "Id been looking for good quality British made guitars for years and to be honest, although there's a few around, I didn't find one that was truly "me" and catered for my varied guitar style, until now: the Rufus infinity custom is what I've been waiting for all my life. It really is a work of art." Both parties are thrilled about the partnership.
Fireflys launch partnership with Frank & Faith clothing
The band have partnered up with ethical clothing company http://www.frankandfaith.com/ to promote their new clothing range.
Frank & Faith issued this statement: "
We are committed to selling top quality products without hidden, harmful chemicals like pesticides, petrochemicals, formaldehyde and other toxic substances. We source products from reputable companies that have been produced from natural, organic or sustainable raw materials. Many of these have also been ethically produced, supporting Fair Trade, and none have been tested on animals.
By choosing to buy natural, organic and ethical products, you are not only protecting the health of yourself and your family but also promoting sustainable farming methods, fair trade and a cleaner environment."
Obviously, this all fits in with the bands ethos and manifesto, so the partnership is a fantastic opportunity for both parties to spread awareness for the cause.
