A BRADFORD band that has performed on hit American programme The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and had songs featured on popular US programmes is looking forward to civic reception in recognition of its achievements.

Scars on 45, whose tunes have been heard on CSI: New York and Grey’s Anatomy, will be welcomed to City Hall on Friday by the Lord Mayor of Bradford Councillor Mike Gibbons.

The four-piece band, whose members are all from the Bradford district, will see the Lord Mayor’s rooms and the civic silver before a reception in the banqueting suite.

Cllr Gibbons said: “We have some amazing talent in Bradford and it is a privilege for me to be able to recognise their achievements by inviting these musicians to City Hall.”

The band is made up of lead singer and guitarist Danny Bemrose, vocalist Aimee Driver, keyboard player David ‘Nova’ Nowakowski and drummer Chris Durling. They are currently touring America promoting their new album, Safety in Numbers, which is being released on Nettwerk Records in the UK on February 23.
