OK, remember this thing that’s been going on about purchasing the MP3 of 17 this week?
Well, now is the time!

All we ask is that you spare £0.79p towards a digital download of 17. This can be purchased from 7digital.com, iTunes or even HMV Digital (internet explorer onl, we prefer itunes or 7digital as it’s more reliable).

Why should I buy this MP3 , I already have it?
We are only asking this as a Farewell to Milburn. Most of us fans who are purchasing the MP3 already own the song in several formats. We only ask that you buy it at least once to rally up our total and hope to get Milburn into some sort of chart as a thank you to the band we all love.
What’s payment options do they accept?
7digital.com accepts all forms of payment including all major cards and even the popular PayPal.
iTunes and HMV.com accept all major credit/debit cards.
When should I buy it?
Any time between the 19th May to the 25th of May. After that the band have officially and finally split.
Why this week?
Because it’s the week of the final gigs (Glasgow and Sheffield), so it’s the most appropriate time to do it!
To commemorate the legend which has been Milburn, the fans of the forum and Facebook sites have decided to rally every Milburn fan together and ask them to spare 79p towards Milburns last ever chart challenge.
The plan?
To purchase the Milburn track named "17"** (preview below) in order to challenge the chart as a farewell for Milburn!
**There is a debate going on as to whether the track should be 17 or Genius & The Tramp. Head on over to the official forum.
When?
In the week of the final gigs. Expect on or around the 19th May.
Why?
To show Milburn how many fans they have and wish them all the very best in their futures!

Courtesy of Milburn you can now download the two brand new tracks from Milburn before they depart the music scene forever.
The tracks were to appear on the second album "These Are The Facts" but ended up being missed off the album.
Because the band are splitting they have decided to release these for the fans.
You can download both tracks both from this website as well as the official website.

Have a good gig seeing Milburn off for the last time in Sheffield!
It may not come as a great surprise to many of you but unfortunately after much consideration we’ve decided that Milburn has run it’s course.
There’s been no malice or falling out between us and we still remain friends and supporters of each other as we move on and explore new musical horizons.
Not everyone in the music media understood us but you the fans did and over the last 2-3 years we’ve shared some amazing experiences that we’ll never forget and we feel very privileged to have done so.
We want to sincerely thank everyone of you that supported us along the way. It’s been overwhelming.
For this reason we’d like to play one last gig. There’s also a few songs left over from the second album that we’re going to make available. The songs are "The District Line" and "Stay At Home". Details will be up as soon as possible.
The gig will take place on 24th May at Sheffield Academy.
Thanks again,
Love as always
Tom, Joe, Greeny and Louis
There’s also going to be a warm up show at ABC2 in Glasgow on 22nd May.
