The Parson's Nose in Melksham's quest to do their bit for local live music continues when their next band night comes round on Thursday 25th March.

Bar supervisor Allen Bowland said: "The objective is to give these new young bands the chance to play to a music loving crowd, and obviously get people supporting fresh new original music.

"The first night in February was very busy with people coming to see Phema and Nishe. The next gig in March looks to be just as good!"

Headlining the next event are south west hardcore punk outfit Baysix. The band who formed in 1999 have built up a strong following through their powerful live shows. Their hard work has paid off as they recently signed to small record label Copro Records.

Their debut album 'Death by Misadventure' is released on March 22nd and they head out on a tour of Germany shortly after their Parson's Nose gig.

Support comes from young Westbury emo punkers 4 Hour Drive. The band's music has been described as a "balls out thrash-fest, with an energetic melodic punk rock twist".

Recent gigs have included a support slot with UK punk legends Stiff Little Fingers.

Baysix and 4 Hour Drive play The Parson's Nose, High Street in Melksham on Thursday 25th March. The gig starts at 9.45pm and admission is free.
