Organisers of the Big Live Gig rock festival are moving the event outside.

After four sell-out years at the Jersey Farm Hotel, Barnard Castle, County Durham, it will be held in a nearby field, on Sunday, July 18.

Tickets are on sale from April 1, price £5, and interest in the Teesdale Community Resources (TCR) event, funded by the Foundation For Youth Music, is already high. All tickets for an earlier event at Barnard Castle Rugby Club sold out three weeks in advance.

The list of bands includes Darlington's highly-regard rock four-piece Fude and Barnard Castle's legendary Watty Boys.

For more information, contact project co-ordinator Andrew Yeadon or Keith Jones at TCR on (01833) 690150.
