STRANGLERS' guitarist Baz Warne will play a fundraising concert in the North-East next month.

The Sunderland-born member of the Eighties band will play an acoustic set at the Atlantic club, in Duke Street, Darlington, on Friday, May 7.

Proceeds from the concert will be donated to local children's charity TrustTees.

Peter Bulloch, the group's chairman, said: "Fans of The Stranglers will love his unique adaptations of the band's classics like Golden Brown and Nice 'N' Sleazy."

The event will start at 8.30pm and finish at about 10.30pm, but the club will remain open until 1am.

Tickets cost £5 in advance from the Atlantic, by calling (01325) 361729, and £7.50 at the door.
