Idle Hive headline Young Bands Day at The Shed
There’s a big day this weekend for young bands – and their fans – at The Shed on Fletton Quays, headlined by the highly thought of Idle Hive.
The venue which is gaining quite a reputation for its live music offering is putting on its first Young Bands Day on Saturday from 1pm.
“We wanted to give young bands the full experience of playing The Shed, with professional sound and lighting,” said Karen Perks from The Shed, “giving them the opportunity to perform to our appreciative and supportive audience and get some great pictures and video to help them promote themselves.”
Opening will be local singer Kelsey Serena, who was spotted at one of The Shed’s open mic nights recently (3.10pm)
Rock covers band Liquid Spirit follow at 4.10pm; at 5.20pm it is Birdwatching Band, who supported The Portland at The Met Lounge in June; and at 6.30pm Krossed Keyz will be showing why they won the Oundle Fringe Battle of The Bands in July.
Headliners Idle Hive take over at 8pm.
“They have just supported The Enemy at The Engine Shed in Lincoln, and have just performed at The Barfly Camden,” added Karen. "This band is amazing and they're 15 - 17 years old, performing covers and their originals too. Katherine (My Queen), an original song, has just achieved 10k streams on Spotify.
“We've had George, the lead singer and guitarist, performing for us solo since he was 15, so we're delighted to have the band play and see how his talents have developed.”
