Fairkytes Live, Hornchurch's intimate music venue, has unveiled a host of singers and bands that will be performing on the Fairkytes Live Stage at the Havering Show.
Known for cultivating the excellent talent on offer by local bands and singers, Fairkytes Live is thrilled to be showcasing some of the winners of last year's Last Band Standing competition, Rolled Up Sleeves and Project.
Previous winners The Everglows will also be joining the eclectic bill of local music, along with previous entrants The Echoes.
Following their recent stellar performance at the Havering Para Arts performance night, performers Caged Arts will also be rocking the Fairkytes Live Stage at this year's Havering Show.
Vocalist Gary Walker, guitar Tom Hughes, bass player Martin Connors and drummer Gavin Jones are a mixed ability band with autism and learning difficulties.
Formed via Essex-based music service Therapy in Music Expression, Fairkytes Live have been working with them to provide more opportunities for people of all abilities to play their music.
Winners of Havering's Voice, an annual competition to find the best and brightest new vocal talent in the borough, will be bringing back previous winners Millie Mae Johnson and Ben Page to dazzle show-goers.
Also joining the line-up are Fairkytes Live and community performers Molly Lavender-Rose, Saucermans Band, Louise Jaymes and Charlie Powell.
Councillor Damian White, Leader of Havering Council, said:
"I am thrilled with the line-up for this year's Fairkytes Live Stage. It is excellent to see so many talented local bands and artists taking to the stage. Fairkytes Live is such an important part of our community and it is great to see them nurturing Havering's musical offer."
