SOUTHLANDS Art Centre will once again be celebrating the summer with its up-and-coming festival this July.

Now in its fourth year SouthlandsLIVE has gained a reputation for signing some of the most talented unsigned acts from London and has sold out in the last two years.

Acts this year include Undersound, Salt, Band of King and Cara Cara with music from 1-9pm on Saturday July 16.

"It's become a real part of West Drayton life," said cultural development director at Yiewsley and West Drayton Arts Council Lee Mathers.

"We work very hard to keep the festival affordable so that everyone who wants to come can do so."

The event is a chance for the whole family to enjoy the raw talent on offer at the cultural hub in West Drayton and residents are encouraged to attend or participate.

Arts Council chair Harvey Vasey said "It's fantastic to think five years ago there was nothing like this in the area.

“The arts centre is really bursting into life with music, film making, photography, creative writing, art, drama and all sorts of other things.
