"It is with great sadness we must announce that Andrea is no longer a part of Faithful Darkness. Duo to personal and professional reasons FD and Andrea must go separate ways. We wish her the best of luck in the future. This doesn't effect the gig at The Tivoli.

But one thing leads to another and this means that Faithful Darkness is in the need of a new keyboard player. If YOU think that you would be the new perfect FD keyboard player, please send a E-mail to Johan faithfuldarkness com. Write a couple of lines about yourshelf, what your exerience are and why you should be perfect for Faithful!
