This years Primal Battle of the Bands will be bigger than ever with top prizes up for grabs in the finals. For the last three years a strong show of support from local music acts has seen this event double in size from it conception.

“This is a great place for young people to realise their talent” says organiser Brendan Hall. Over the past 10 years he has worked in the music industry to develop and train young bands and musicians in their craft. Speaking from his experience as a recovering drug addict Brendan is “…concerned about todays youth” and sees music as “an opportunity to inspire young people towards positive goals”.
