One of the first events of 2012 will be a concert by retro covers band Blind Alley, who were a force on the York music scene for almost eight years but who played their last gig two years ago.
They are reforming for a gig at Huntington Working Men’s Club at 7.30pm on Saturday, January 14, when they will be playing timeless classics from bands such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Eagles, REM and Coldplay.
Advance tickets can be bought for £5 each, available from the club, York and District Mind, York Against Cancer and the Guildhall, on 01904 551011 during office hours.
Band member Ian Surgenor said he had contacted other members of Blind Alley to see if they could get back together one more time and they all said yes. “I’m delighted and really looking forward to it,” he said.
Meanwhille, an evening with top football referee Howard Webb at Pike Hills Golf Club on Thursday, January 26, has almost sold out, but organiser Graham Bradbury said he was still looking for prizes for the raffle. Anyone willing to donate should phone 01904 708330.
Members of the Civic Party, including Lord Mayor David Horton, are set to pound the city centre streets in early January to promote the Valentine Ball at the Voltigeur Suite, York Racecourse, on Saturday, February 11.
They will be asking shops and other businesses to donate items for auction at the event, or valentines flowers her
