BANDS and artists wanting to showcase their work at next year's Stratford Music Live can put their names down for a slot now.

Plans for next year's event, now two days following the success of this year's day-long extravaganza, are well under way and the organisers are looking for people to take part and for businesses to can help with sponsorship.

Stratford Hi-Fi is one sponsor so far, but more help is needed to help the event, on June 30 and July 1 go with a swing. For details on sponsorship or appearing at one of the venues, call Val Harris on 01789 294070.
