Journey South in the BBC Tees Open Centre

Homeward Bound

With their new single all about their local roots, Teesside duo Journey South made sure that they gave a fantastic performance to an audience in the BBC Tees Open Centre.

Journey South started their latest tour by performing to an audience of ecstatic fans in the BBC Tees Open Centre.

In the audience were youngsters from Abingdon Road Primary School and Acklam Grange School, where Carl and Andy used to go.

Carl and Andy started by performing their new single, 'What I Love About Home', and as they explained to presenter John Foster they made sure that the video for the single was filmed on Teesside.

They are captured on film at local landmarks, including the Transporter Bridge, Cleveland Hills and the Riverside Stadium.

They performed three songs during their set, including their version of The Beatles' classic 'Let It Be'.

The acoustic session was followed by the brothers being asked to sign numerous autographs and then answering questions from fans.

They said: "We have had a great time, thanks for being such a good audience. We really enjoy coming back to our home area, we hope you enjoyed the songs and don't forget to buy our new single."

Jane Sharkey from Acklam Grange School said: "We decided to bring a group of youngsters along as a bit of a treat for working so hard.

"They have had a really good time, friends in other years will be so jealous. It's good for them to see past pupils doing so well."
