Local Bands perform for Tsunami Appeal

OVER 250 people turned out last Saturday night at Stranraer's Millennium Centre to hear local bands perform in aid of the Tsunami Appeal.

Back Seat Driver, The Missionary Men and Bad Reputation ensured a full house for "Music for Relief", which raised £1551.51 for the Disasters Emergency Committee.

Stranraer DJ Nish Walker opened proceedings at 7.30 pm after crowds had patiently waited outside and by 8 pm it was Back Seat Driver who took the stage first.

Next were the Missionary Men, who produced a varied set ranging from the sixties to the present day, followed by Bad Reputation, who brought the evening to a successful conclusion with a series of rock classics.

The bands wish to thank everyone who turned up on the night and also those who helped out behind the scenes.
