| Beatbox band DUKE |
This year's Proms starts with a
big Launch Party Night with DUKE – a beatbox band who play at festivals up and
down the country, local 2015 Fame Contest winning local band Brixton Alley and
local DJ Dirty Harry, all performing in the Townsend Hall on Friday 17th June.
As the band DUKE commented on
performing this year “Since our performance (last year) we have fans from
Shipston-on-Stour contacting us every week asking when we'll be back, well,
WE'RE BACK and we couldn't more excited!!! We have been invited to play at the
Launch night of this year's Proms and we can't wait to see everyone from last
year! Hold on to your pants, it's going to be a big one!! Much love... The DUKE
boys!”
The Fame Contest, on Saturday 18th
June in the Townsend Hall, is a must for aspiring local musicians to enter,
with the winners of solo/duet & bands categories getting an opportunity to
play on the main stage on the Proms last night.
