ROCK band K-Billy have a fun-packed summer lined up with a string of dates across East Lancashire.

After fine-tuning their performance at The Carlton, in their home town of Burnley, the group's management have paved the way for a string of performances.

The first appearances at Churchill's, Accrington, and the Old Hill Inn, Ingleton, have already been completed and the band call in at the Borough, Blackburn, on Friday.

Excellent Manchester outfit Clime will join the band at the Borough.

Then later in the year the band will embark on what they bill as The Best Local Band Tour In The World Ever, with Accrington's Tailback, Rossendale's Focus and Guy Fox.

The tour will call in at venues in each area, headlined by the local act.

Manager Dave Fullalove said: "Anyone seeing the band this summer can expect new material blended with old favourites such as Jen, Out Of It, Spaced Man and Murder."
