Young rockers line up charity gig

The Sherlocks, which is made up of two sets of brothers—Kiaran and Brandon Crook and Andy and Josh Davidson—will perform at the Angel Pub in Bolton on Dearne next Friday  from 7.30pm to raise money for the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity.

The band have carved out a name for themselves with covers of the Arctic Monkeys, Libertines, Stereophonics, The Jam, The Police and The Beatles.

Drummer Brandon (18) and guitarist Kiaran (15) are both studying at Wath Comprehensive, while bassist Andy (12) is a pupil at St Pius School in Wath and singer Josh (18) is a trainee engineer.

Kiaran and Brandon’s mum, Julie Crook, said: “The boys put this band together and they practice at every opportunity despite other commitments like college and school.

“My husband manages the band with myself and the members all equally contribute with their ideas.

“At the moment, they are putting some medleys together of the Beatlles, and have written and performed two songs of their own.

“They would like this event to be a huge success to both raise awareness of the charity, and provide much needed funds for this hospital.”

There will be a raffle and a collection held on the night but entry is free.
