On April 20th, we teamed up with the Rotary Club of Corringham Thameside and the Yellow Advertiser to bring you a spectacular sold out Battle of the Bands event in aid of the Karis May Darling Foundation. A fantastic night was had, with 6 bands performing, and over £1390 was raised for the fantastic cause.

Many thanks to all the bands that performed, New Era, Accidental Tourists, Pretty Strange Things, The Ends, Soma Rising, and Something Simple. And of course to those who didn’t make it through to the finals, Green Mile, I Prefer Space Travel, Blackstorm Sound, False Heads, We Were Lions, and My Heroine.

The video below highlights the event well, and was recorded by Ryan and Louis from Twin Decks Discos. If you have footage from the event, please email Ryan at webmaster@gateway978.com so we can get as much footage from the event as possible to help you relive the night!
