THE former lead singer of popular indie rock band The Seahorses will perform an acoustic concert this month.

Chris Helme, current frontman of The Yards, will perform at The Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge on the North York Moors on September 16.

Following the demise of The Seahorses, he has adopted the remote location as his home venue, playing there on numerous occasions.

His new band, The Yards, have spent the past few years writing and recording, and have been rewarded with a record deal. Their single and album will be released this summer.

Tickets for the concert are £5, available on (01751) 417320 or at www.blakeymusic.com
