Seagull Guitars & James Blunt

Chart topping singer on Tour playing his very own Seagull guitars
For immediate release:

Montreal, Canada-October 26th, 2006- Multi-million album selling, U.K. singer/songwriter James Blunt set out on the
last leg of his “Back to Bedlam” world tour with a couple of new acoustic guitars in his own personal arsenal of instru-
ments.

Canadian guitar manufacturer Godin Guitars, parent company to the renowned Seagull acoustic guitars, built James
his very own Seagull 6 and 12 string acoustic models, in two “beautiful” high-gloss burst finishes. Played by James
on a nightly basis, these finely crafted, all solid wood acoustics were specifically built for the singer, which he
received while rehearsing for the tour.

A longtime fan of the Seagull brand, James recounts the Seagull S6 as being the first acoustic guitar he actually went
out and bought himself in his early days prior as a songwriter. Previously serving 4 years in the British Army, his
Seagull guitar was in fact “the” personal item Capt. James Blunt chose to bring with him, while in the war torn region
of Kosovo. It was during this time that many of the ideas for the hugely successful “Back to Bedlam” album were com-
posed.

Seagull Ads featuring James Blunt will be appearing in various guitar and music publications in the upcoming
months. The Seagull Ad features a quote by James showing a hint of the singer’s British, dry wit: “Beautifully crafted
& beautifully sounding guitars…may I have another one please?”
