Scottish band Rockburn feature on US hit TV show

Bellshill band Rockburn are not only making waves in the music world but also on the small screen after one of their songs featured on top US TV show Burn Notice.

Now in its fourth season, Burn Notice has been a huge hit in the US having been nominated for a host of awards including an Emmy.

The shows title refers to burn notices issued by intelligence agencies to discredit or announce the dismissal of spies who are considered to have become unreliable, ultimately making them disappear without money, history or even an identity.

Guitarist Gary Dudgeon said: "It all came about with our manager Alex Hamilton having a contact within FOX TV in the US.

"We sent him two of our songs over to see if he could do anything with them and he got back almost immediately saying he loved the track 'Red Dress' and would love to use it in 'Burn Notice.'”

The Scottish rockers are delighted at having one of their tracks played in such a prestigious show, and hope the experience will provide a platform from which to launch themselves stateside.

The four piece band, who formed in 2006, have played in venues the length and breadth of the UK and have built up a sizeable fan base.
