TWO local bands will take to the stage in Stoke Prior this weekend, in support of AIDS orphans in Africa.

Rock band Slowburner and 60's influenced trio Green Head Man will play a charity gig at Stoke Prior Sports and Country Club in Weston Hall Road, Stoke Prior, on Saturday, October 1.

The gig is organised by Bromsgrove resident Lynn Plimmer, who recently visited Malwai in South Eastern Africa, and money raised will go towards building a skill training college in the AIDS hit country.

Entry is £7 on the door. For further information call 01527 577876.
