NORTH-EAST rock singer and guitarist Pete Shoulder is releasing a limited edition single next week.

The 21-year-old from Waldridge Fell, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, and his band Winterville, will release Shotgun Smile on the Toxxic label on Monday.

It is a limited edition release of 500 copies on vinyl and 500 on CD to whet the appetite for another offering in the summer.

Winterville - formerly The Others and then The Keytones - have been gigging across the country and have produced an EP.

Pete said: "We have been working hard but we are seeing the difference now. When we play a place, the second time it is double the crowd."

Winterville play The Cluny, Lime Street, Ouseburn, Newcastle, at 8pm tomorrow. Tickets £4.
