Keighley Festival wants to give new bands, duos and solo artists a chance to play.

It has a number of small venues suitable for the performers during this year’s event running from July 5 to 12.

Organiser Malcolm Hanson (above) said: “We would like to give untried and untested bands a chance to play and perhaps kick-start them up the ladder to success.

“We will give them help in arranging their gig, and get them publicity, but overall it will be their own efforts that will make the gig a success.”
