The Tennysons
As some of you already know The Tennysons have thought long and hard about our future and have decided to call it a day. We’ve had some absolute quality times over the last few years and we wanna give you ‘Battlefield‘ as a send off to say a massive thank you for all your support all the way from the gigs at The Abbey pub to our trips to London! I’m currently working with a few lads on a new project which I’m really exited about that shall be unveiled towards the end of the year so keep your eyes pealed for that one and we’ll have many more chances to have a few beers and a bit of a dance in the future! Anyway, enjoy the video and I’ll be posting a link soon so you can download ‘Battlefield’ for free. Big thank you again and I’ll be seeing you soon. Ryan and The Tennysons x (Posted on Facebook)
