A bit of an early warning for Punk By The Sea, a great charity fund-raising music event organised for the Pier on Saturday 18th June. The event brings punk stalwarts the Buzzcocks down to Portsmouth with a line-up including Peter and the Test Tube Babies and a host of other bands and DJs for the day long event. Money raised will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

If your band wants to get on the bill for the event you can enter Punk Factor! On April 1st at The Gosport Rugby Club you can enter the competition with a chance to win a load of prizes plus win the opening spot on the bill for the main stage.
