North Shields band who supported Sam Fender devastated after airline loses guitars on US tour

A North Shields band who have supported Sam Fender have spoken of their 'devastation' after losing £5,000 worth of guitars and equipment on their US tour.

Hector Gannet had flown out to the States on March 13 to promote their latest album 'The Land Belongs To Us' but disaster struck soon after landing on US soil. The band, who had flown to Austin in Texas to kick off a series of shows, discovered that their guitars - which are worth thousands of pounds - had not arrived.

And in a further blow, the band says that American Airlines have informed them that they do not know where the lost equipment is.
