Workshop for trumpet players

12:30pm Thursday 25th September 2008

A NEW Grounded Live event has been arranged to replace the one scheduled for Saturday, September 6, to mark the official opening of Ross Skate Park, but which was dealt a double blow by the weather and a faulty generator.

Heavy rain, floods and the generator failure put paid to an exciting afternoon featuring young local bands with headliners Rupert and the Robbers topping the bill in the evening.

The rescheduled, free, event takes place at 7pm, on Friday, October 3, at the Y-Zone in Ross-on-Wye.

Julie Sorensen, project manager for YMAZ, one of the organisers of the event, is confident the event will go ahead with no hiccoughs: “We’re hoping that this gig will more than make up for the disaster of the previous event. The performers are all geared up to showcase the musical talent of the young people in Ross-on-Wye.”
