Exciting projects

Mark concluded: "The event sees the launch of the first in a number of exciting youth projects that the band will shortly be announcing. The event will be for those under the age of 21. I have received a large number of enquiries already over the event and due to limited places people are asked to book a place soon in order to avoid disappointment."
