The major all-day gig is in aid of Cancer Research and organiser Michele Ellis says it promises to be a highly successful event as a lot of talent will be performing.

She said: “The Jumpstarts will be kicking off the event and should do a great job of getting the crowd in the mood. All of the bands are giving up their time free and hop that everyone comes along.”

Other bands to appear are a brand new band Jukebox Jonah and the Random Runners, Three Vicars, Beast with a Gun, Umbrella Assassins, Slim Limbs, Fletch Cadillac, Churches, the Gutterboys and Whiterush.

The Allens Bar gig in aid of cancer research will be held on Sunday August 24 from noon and until late.
