Musical Numbers Anyone?

Two weeks of positive cotent - day three


music from Live in Thanet
Thanet's local music scene is something that does not get anywhere near enough praise by us local pundits. So today's post aims to make up a little for this.

You can catch up with a number of local musical types at Live In Thanet which is just one of the many locations that they hide away.

But out local music tallent do more than entertain us in pubs and make nice sounds for our ears in he better type of club. They also rasie a lot of money for charity too.

Take for example next year's Bands on the Sands - a massive concert on Margate beach which will raise money for breast cancer research (on a side note why is it always that particular cancer that gets all the cash?)

As blog writers we have the power to make a difference to the level of exposure local bands get. We can be an influence for good (or bad). Even so much as to increase the profitibility of running gigs by simply helping to get the word out. I'm not saying we should shout about them allt he time but there is no harm in addopting a group or two as mascots.

It might not be for everyone but it is open to anyone.
