THE Northern Echo's music website, Revolution, will showcase three of the region's best up-and-coming bands in Darlington on Thursday.

Since November 2003, Revolution has produced a series of Platform events to show the wealth of musical talent in the region, from smooth jazz to solo-acoustic folk.

This next event, Ones-2-Watch, will take place at The Forum Music Centre, Borough Road, Darlington, and will feature bands Greenspace, Syris and Output.

Revolution's Sean Leonard said: "Tickets for the event are selling well and that is all down to the bands on show.

"It's great when local performers provoke such a quick response from the music following public.

"I personally can't wait to hear these bands do what they do best, which is perform their own original material in front of enthusiastic audiences."

Ones-2-Watch is sponsored by Fourth Chamber urban street-wear, Post House Wynd, Darlington.
