Currently rehearsing songs for a charity busk in Bath City Centre, Somerset. 26th March 2011. Newcomers to the busking world, we still envisage a good turn out on a saturday and endeavour to turn up in some crazy attire for video purposes and maximum attraction to raise money for Cancer Research.

'Pilots' will be one of hundreds of musicians, singers and street entertainers taking part in what is expected to be Britain’s biggest busking event.  Busking Cancer, in aid of Cancer Research UK, is a nationwide "gig" which will run throughout 2011.

Last year, more than 800 Busking Cancer events were organised by the public from London to Glasgow, from Brighton to Cardiff and this year is expecting to be even bigger with the aim to raise over £140,000 for Cancer Research UK.

'Pilots' are among the first to sign up in Reading.

Busking Cancer is a great way for us to do what we love doing, raise our profile in our own home town, and raise money for a very worthy cause.

 We are an acoustic trio who all have separate solo ventures as well as collectively collaborating to write new material comprising guitar, cello and vocals. Andy Brewer and Robina Veda have been writing and performing for four years and have taken breaks at different stages due to work commitments and family. George Simpson joined the band in 2010. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist specialising in guitar, cello and piano. From this point on, having jointly collaborated with other bands, we decided to form a smaller collective focusing on a more intimate sound.
