The annual extravaganza of music at The Lounge Bar, Alton.

Charity fund raiser for the youth projects and care for the elderly which are both based at Alton Community Centre.

This year we are having a slight change of plan and widening the genres and scope of interest for music lovers in the area. We have this gig as a fundraiser and so appealing to as many fans as possible is clearly our aim for raising as much money as we can. There will be two stages as always-one Rock/Metal and one Alternative. The day will start with showcasing our favourites from the acoustic gigs we have been running to ease us into the day's music slowly.

For those that don't like other genres of music-appreciate a cigarette break after your favourite band and get into the spirit of the day!

Bands so far include: (not playing order)

*******************************************************

MONUMENTS

*******************************************************

Fresh from Euroblast, Alton will be staging another exclusive with the first UK show of the new line-up that Monuments are going to be rocking our worlds with.

A band with a sterling reputation in the music scene, this should be a show well worth coming to see. Prog metal with a definite kick and groove, this is a show that the bar can't wait to see!
