BANDS are tuning up for a festival aiming to showcase young talent next month.
Rockfest has been organised by the Youth Forum at Consett YMCA.
Taking place at the YMCA headquarters in Parliament Street, on June 2, it will feature four teenage bands from Derwentside.
YMCA manager Billy Robson said: "We have had the bands here on different nights and there has been a lot of interest. We decided Rockfest would be a great way to get them all together."
The event will feature punk three-piece The Abyss, indie-rock foursome Uncledad, punk-metal outfit Chromium, and Phobia. Admission will be £1. For further details, call (01207) 502680.
