The Wytches and Traams
Concorde 2, Madeira Drive, Brighton, Saturday, February 20, 7pm, £10, 01273 673311
HOMELESS charity Centrepoint is set to benefit following the cancellation of Dublin noise-rockers Girl Band’s UK tour.
Rather than cancel the show promoters have offered gig-goers a bill headlined by Sussex’s biggest up and coming bands – The Wytches and original tour supports Traams, alongside Abbatoir Blues and Realms.
Refunds are still available for disappointed Girl Band fans, but anyone who still has a ticket can come down for the packed bill.
