ONE of America’s top rhythm and blues bands will be getting crowds rocking in County Durham.

Vintage Trouble will perform at Hardwick Live, near Sedgefield, on Saturday, August 18 August.

They join the two-day music festival’s star-studded line-up which includes the Kaiser Chiefs, Ash, Jake Shears, the Happy Mondays, Shed Seven and Echo and the Bunnymen.

Vintage Trouble got their big break in 2011 before launching their first album.

Now, three albums and several tours later, the band is going from strength to strength and is making a North-East stop-off on their European tour.
