Throughout the week we distributed flyers with key information, launched the new ‘community’ tab on the SUBU website with a page dedicated to SSHH, and released our new video featuring local residents talking about their personal experience of the difficulties often faced and how we can work to improve the community experience for everyone.

LITTLE COMETS TO HIT BOURNEMOUTH TOWN IN EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCE! Little Comets aren’t your average indie band. They are ready to st and up for their belief s and avoid t he manufactured sound of many- a moder n musician.

M ak ing waves in t he nort h of the country, t hey have per f or med a series of impromptu gigs, f rom metro stat ions t o super mar kets.

Following the release of their second album, Life is Elsewhere, released via Dirty Hit on 8t h Oct ober 2012, the t rio will visit The Old Fire St at ion in A pril 2013 during their headline tour.

Af t er signing to Columbia Records, t hey’ve played several venues up and

down t he country and had huge success in the UK Indie Charts wit h t heir int elligent lyrics and catchy ref rains.

From playing f est ivals across the UK and Europe t o being part of Hyde Par k ’s Olympic celebrat ions, the T yneside group say t o expect “ a longer set” as a result of new songs from t he trio’s latest album. W hilst newbie listeners will f all f or the sharp har monies, t owering chorus’ and winding guitar rif fs. This is certainly a gig t o wat ch out for.
