The Enemy Visit Jacket Factory

The Enemy might be busy on tour but they took time out to visit a jacket factory, as reported in The Shields Gazette, and reprinted below:

ROCK band The Enemy made a whistlestop visit to a South Tyneside factory after a sell-out gig.

Frontman Tom Clarke, bassist Andy Hopkins and drummer Liam Watts were given a tour of the Barbour factory in South Shields yesterday.

They met the workforce and saw how Barbour's classic wax jackets are made before going into the store at Simonside, where they tried on a selection of jackets from the latest winter collection.

The Coventry-based band, who are touring to promote their second album, Music For The People, dropped in after playing at the 02 Academy in Newcastle on Sunday night.

They were heading to Leeds, where they were playing last night(16/11/09).

Barbour PR manager Sue Newton said "The Enemy are big fans of our brand, and as they were in the area, they asked if they could call in.

"We were delighted to see them, and to show them around the factory and the store."
