The Spinto Band Have Their Mandolin Stolen

The Spinto Band are appealing for information from fans after they had their Mandolin stolen at their Manchester show last night.

The band were playing the Academy 3 when someone stole the instrument during the actual performance.

A statement from the band says: “Tonight we experienced a tragic loss. During this evening's performance at Manchester Academy 3 (08/23/06), somebody stole our Mandolin from the stage.”

“This instrument has little monetary worth, but provides a wealth of sentimental value to us. It is a Kay electric mandolin with a wood sunburst finish, white pickgaurd, and a crack in the headstock.”

“We are prepared to offer healthy reward upon its return. In addition, if the Mandolin is received before we play Reading / Leeds, the person who delivers it will be offered tickets to those events.”

“This is truly a sad day for the Spinto Band. If you have any information regarding its whereabouts or wish to express your sympathy, please contact us.”
