BANDS can help the fight against cancer by offering their services for a planned four-group gig in Burnley next month.

Roger Rawlinson, from rockers Kain, is looking for bands to play alongside his group in the charity event at the Friendly Hotel on June 4.

Proceeds from the night will go to the charity Macmillan Nurses, who provides cancer care.

Roger said: "We are hoping for two or three bands plus us. A couple of bands have already shown an interest and we want to make it a really good night and raise plenty of cash."

Anyone interested can call Roger on 01282 438595 or e-mail: kain_group@hotmail.com

Kain have recruited a new singer and songwriter Roy Bright, who has just returned from the Navy. The band hope to release a new three-track CD soon.
