Gig marks skate park opening

10:49am Thursday 4th September 2008

FOLLOWING a sell-out success last March, Grounded Live is back, and bigger.

The rock and hip-hop gig marks the official opening of the Ross skate park, and will showcase the best of young local musical talent throughout Saturday.

The event will be headlined by Rupert and the Robbers, a young Herefordshire band already receiving rave reviews in the music press. It will also feature Ross-based young rock bands and will see the return of a great hip-hop and rap line up, hosted by Soul Syndicate Sound System.

A skate competition hosted by pro-skaters Tribe, will include three categories (BMX, Skateboarders and Bladers) and participants will compete within their own age group. The competition is open to anyone aged from 10 to 25 and prizes from Flipped street sport outlet will be up for grabs. Registration for the competition starts at 11am.
