ROCKETDOG are to headline the first of what is hoped will become weekly music nights for under-18s.

North Bar, Blackburn, opens on Easter Monday from 6pm to 10pm for a younger audience.

Promoter John Winstanley said: "We want to showcase the best new local bands and to give younger music fans their own night. If there are any bands in the area who would like to get involved then they could send any demo tapes to me. It doesn't matter how rough they are."

The Monday nights will be called Hype and only soft drinks will be available. Admission is £4 on the door. Demo tapes can be sent to John Winstanley at AWH, 19 Thirlmere Drive, Withnell, Chorley, PR6 8AY.
