Afghan Heroes - We're more than the name suggests...

 
Londons Air Studios played host to an emotional rollercoaster on November 17th. Over a hundred people pitched in to help with the recording of the new song, Steal the Sun, written for Afghan Heroes. We hope for the song to be remembered by millions as a work of genius for soldiers who need our support. Some promotional video footage has been prepared to show some of the behind the scenes footage of the day and can been watched here. Keep watching our Website, Facebook, Twitter and newly operational YouTube Channel for more updates on these emotional recordings and please encourage as many people as possible to purchase the song as it is finally released. Steal the Sun available now. Click here to download from iTunes or Amazon. Please download. Thanks to everyone for showing their support.

The Corporal Lee Scott

The Corporal Lee Scott was created by Paul Ferguson and Martin Turner in recognition of the formation of Afghan Heroes. A Harley Davidson MT-350, which has seen active service, was procured as the donor bike, and the vision was born.
Simply the Cpl. Lee Scott is a motorcycle memorial to all the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan from the commencement of hostilities in 2001 up until the present day. Symbolically the build of the Cpl. Lee Scott was finished on the 11th November 2011. Tragically however, the Cpl. Lee Scott will never be completed until British Forces are removed from the hostile territory of Afghanistan.
