Top Taunton rock band to perform at Morland Community Hall, Highbridge

Top Taunton rock band Evolution will be performing a night of rock music at Morland Community Hall, Highbridge in January.

Aimed at local youngsters aged under 17, the event is being organised by local group Burnham Rock and aims to highlight just some of the possible uses of the closure-threatened hall and to give the opportunity to young local rock musicians to see and hear live music of a standard that is only usually available on licensed premises.

Adrian Miles, vocalist of the band, said: "Although we are all established musicians in our twenties, our lead guitarist, at just thirteen, is certainly one of the youngest professional musicians in the West of England and has just made a major songwriting contribution to our latest album."

"Having such a gifted young artist in our own band, we are always willing to play gigs that may inspire other talented young people to follow their dreams as did Alex ‘The Axe’.’

Doors open at 6:45pm on Saturday January 5th and a soft drinks bar will be available until 10:30pm. Tickets are £2.00 on the door with proceeds going to the Highbridge Stroke Club and Morland Youth Club.

Burnham Rock is also offering the opportunity of a guest slot or possibly full support to suitable young local bands. Contact Burnham Rock on 01278 792334 for details.
