Good Friday Night!


It’s coming up to bonfire night and alongside the fireworks Selby’s under 20s last night saw an explosion of music at the Town Hall.
The bill featured three bands.
Hometown Heroes ripped up the stage playing Pop-Punk tunes written themselves and featuring Sum 41 and Blink 182 covers. They entertained the crowd well and even had a small circle pit going in front of the stage.
Captain Backfire, pictured, fresh from recording a demo CD played their usual high quality Funk/Blues engaging the crowd in dancing and ended on a high with Good Friday, to which the audience were encouraged to sing along, and a cover of Kinchs’, Its Not Rock and Roll which seems to be the encore song of choice over recent gigs, and always goes down well.
Finally major label band Last Gang took to the stage, bringing their own take in the Indie music scene to a crowd who received them with high energy and expectations. The original material flowed seamlessly from one song to another and was lapped up by exited fans who my never get to see the band in a venue that size again.
The high quality of the music was added to by the excellent sound quality produced by the sound engineer. And with the event being part of a chain being organised at the venue Selby teenagers have something to look forward to. Check: http://www.myspace.com/townhallgigs for information on upcoming gigs.
