Russ Withey of RockWith will be hosting live entertainment for a community event in Kirkby Stephen. 

The Youth Centre in Kirkby Stephen is set to open next month and will be hosting an open day. 

To help the village celebrate RockWith will be offering musical acts for visitors and audiences to enjoy. 

Mr Withey said: "Krisi Anne the organiser has been working really hard to open up this youth centre in Kirkby Stephen. 

"They're going to be having an open day to announce the opening of it on Saturday, September 2. 

"She's got stalls, bouncy castles, and lots of activities going on throughout the day, so she asked us to provide entertainment.

"Alex Freitas will be performing a varied range of songs throughout the afternoon to get everyone up singing and dancing.

"It'll be a really great thing for Kirkby Stephen because they're getting another youth centre for their community. 

"Alex will be doing a long set throughout the afternoon, he's very talented and has done a number of RockWith gigs including the Taste of the Sea event in Marport."
