The Leg Needs YOU!

The Leg is shooting a video for Trojan Guitar next weekend.

This will involve swords, sorcery and sauciness in equal measure.

Would you like to charge around in a big field by a castle wielding swords and whatnot? We're after medieval re-enactment types with their own costumes, weapons, vague sense of how to wield stabbing implements etc.

The shoot will be in striking distance of London. You'll have to find your own way there but Man Rock, massacre and mayhem lie at the end of your journey. We need as big an army as possible for one day and a select few for the other, when we'll be shooting the big fight scene with the band.

Think Frank Miller's 300, with a little Hawk the Slayer and Krull thown in for good measure.

Send an email to hawkins.video@gmail.com with the following details...

- Your availability from Saturday 30th August to Tuesday 2nd September
- A photo of yourself
- A list of any weapons you're bringing along.
