A FREE gig is being held at an art gallery to help emerging bands.
Get Known is organising the vent at Firstsite, on Lewis Gardens, Colchester.
The impressive line-up for the Saturday gig includes The Baskervilles, a four piece indie-rock band hailing from Ipswich, Suffolk, delivering a jet-black prognosis of twenty-something life through a blend of raw energy, hip-hop influenced grooves and the syncopated grind of 8 bit guitar; Colchester band Dilute to Taste and deliver a blend of vintage garage rock, alt tones and primal escapism, and Sam Ryder.
The Get Known team are a young group of event organisers and sound technicians that are putting on a series of events during the year and are offering opportunities to young people to gain experience helping to put on the events.
Founder Toby Scott said: "This is a brilliant opportunity to either get your music heard or to be part of a new exciting project."
Doors open at 7pm and live performance videos will be made of the bands so you can also be a star in the crowd during the evening.
Firstsite is providing a licensed bar and free tickets are available directly from the gallery but booking is essential.
