Bishop Band Night

A live music event for young people proved so popular that a further two are planned for next month.

Bishop Live – Young People’s Band Night was held on Friday 10 February, and saw four bands made up of local musicians take to the stage.

The Cartoon Room, We Killed the Bass Player, The loudest Silence and Lady Godiva performed at Bishop Auckland Town Hall as part of the event organised by Durham County Council’s Positive Activities for Young People Team.

Alison Ghent, area youth worker, said, “Despite the snow there was a really good turn out so we were very pleased.

“Thanks to all of the parents who provided transport to get the bands there and to all the people who came to watch.

“The bands and standard of performance was fantastic – well done to everybody.”

A further two nights are set to take place on Saturday 3rd and Saturday 31st March.

Anyone interested in attending or performing should contact Alison on 07825 341 218.
