TWO 1960s groups will bring their music to the North-East this month.

The Spencer Davis Group and the Yardbirds will perform R&B and rock 'n' roll at Darlington Civic Theatre on Saturday, May 22, at 7.30pm.

The Spencer Davis Group scored their first hit in December 1965 with Keep on Running, which knocked The Beatles off the top spot in January 1966.

Between March 1965 and July 1966, The Yardbirds spent 53 weeks in the UK charts.

Tickets cost from £16.50 to £18.50. They are available by calling (01325) 486555.
