Legendary Cumbrian band It Bites will be recording their new live DVD/CD package at the University of Cumbria on Friday 12th February.
This will be the first time in the band have played in Carlisle since the early days of their career and lecturer Russell Cherrington and students from the BA Film & Television course will film the concert at the Stanwix Arts Theatre on Brampton Road, and edit together a DVD package for the band.
“This fantastic opportunity came together as we worked on the re-release of ‘Calling All The Heroes’ for the floods that hit West Cumbria,” explains Russell. “In recent years we have had artists like David Ford here at the university recording videos and live DVD’s, so the time felt right for a bigger project. The relationship with It Bites allowed that to fall into place.”
Tickets for the concert are on sale via www.itbites.com or from Ruby Blue Vintage in Treasury Court Carisle.
There’s also the possibility of a special secret gig by It Bites on Thursday 11th February at a venue near to the city centre. Fans should keep an eye on the band’s message board on their website.
