Scooter Club snap up last of the bargain tickets

 

Mod music lovers and scooter rides from across the region will be descending on the Riverside in Chester le Street at the end of the month to bask in a full day of music.

With headline bands such as 'From the Jam' The Lambrettas' and The Selector' the day is sure to be a nostalgic festival for those who remember the late 70's and early 80's music as a background to their youth.

 

"We have some top class bands from that era and we also have some cracking local bands that play ska / mod music so the whole day will be a true festival of that time in music." said Carl Marshall from the organisers, Stanley Events.

"Tickets have sold very well so the atmosphere will be great with old and new fans of the bands coming along to see the tracks they know so well performed live."

 
Durham County Scooter Club came down 'on mass' to collect their tickets and could not be happier with the bands on at the event. Paul Buglass, one of the group, is particularly looking forward to seeing one of the bands:

" I have been a 'Lambrettas' fan for a long time now and they don't really tour that much.  To see them on the same stage as the other bands from the era is going to be a great day and we are al looking forward to the day.  To top it all, having them all on our doorstep is just fantastic!"

" Durham County Scooter Club are just one of a host of scooter clubs who have taken an interest in the festival. We are sure to see many a colourful scooter here in Chester le Street from across the region."said Carl
