- Thanks to Maria (vocalist based in Rhoose) for supporting us at the hotel functions!
- We had the great pleasure of performing with Gareth Mortimer (Racing Cars) on one of our first ever gigs in Pencoed - he sung "First Cut is the Deepest" with us - what a voice this guy didn't need a microphone! He congratulated us on our performance so we reciprocated by playing an "unplugged" version of "They Shoot Horses Don't They" - only to find out later he hates the song!
People we'd just like to mention:
- Off The Cuff are very proud to be supporters of The JAM Fund (www.jamfund.co.uk) - a charity helping children and their families coping with leukaemia and other life threatening illnesses. Ceri ran(!) the London Marathon, the Cardiff Half Marathon (twice) and the Great North Run with Jamie Adamson's father Paul on behalf of the charity.
