The Kooks

To celebrate The Kook's tour of the USA we have teamed up with the band to bring you a guide to some of their favorite locations from their home town of Brighton. We also have a signed guitar from all of the guy's that we're giving away in our sweepstakes. All you have to do is answer one simple question and the guitar could be yours! To win just tell us the name of the palace in Brighton that King George IV commissioned?

If you would like to be in with the chance of joining the band on a double-decker bus and going to their concert in New York, simply enter your details here.
