Anyone seen the ad with someone who looks like he's absolutely tearing up a gorgeous Lowden? Sounds like amazing playing but I can't imagine who the ad - for a loan shark company - is aimed at.

Ben Lapps, and Mike Dawes (in disguise). Can't imagine why they agreed to do this for such a company. Well, I can actually - what a pity. It's on Youtube, but I'll not post it here.

Agreed. While it's great to see a Lowden guitar being played (even in THAT style ) on primetime national TV, its association with a quick loan company (charging exorbitant [in my opinion] interest rates) is regrettable and puts me off being in any way enthused by it.

Some folk will do anything for cash. I'm poor and I still would have told them to go away with a few choice swears chucked in.

It does say in one of the video comments on Youtube that Mike gave his fee to charity - if so, good for him. Still a dodgy organisation to have anything to do with though, I'd have thought. Keith
