The Prize
After more than thirty-five incredible years, and an emphatic 2023 that saw a career-spanning The Very Best Of 1989 - 2023 release and a standout performance at Glastonbury, Texas returned to the road in September which included a date at first direct arena Leeds … and you could be the proud owner of an authentic electric guitar signed by the band!
The band’s latest album - The Muscle Shoals Sessions – features twelve of Texas’ greatest hits, and two covers ('Would I Lie To You' by Charles and Eddie and 'Save The Last Dance' by The Drifters) - reimagined and laid bare. Stripped back to their bare bones, guided by the soulful voice of Sharleen Spiteri, accompanied by the delicate piano lines of Spooner Oldham, the songs simply shine in this format and prove their worth as sheer standalone timeless classics. As one of the UK’s best loved live acts, Texas’s return to the stage this Autumn will be a highlight of 2024.
Enter our Month of Giving raffle now for the chance to win a guitar signed by Texas, and raise money for music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins.
