Musicians from Keighley are teaming up to for a trio of gigs in the town, Leeds and Manchester

Gold Jacks, Beat the Poet and The Ramblers will begin their mini-tour at the Santiago Bar in the Grand Arcade, Leeds, on September 27.

They will share the stage at the Exchange Arts Centre in Keighley on November 8, and the Manchester performance is expected to take place in December.

Gold Jacks formed in January last year, with members including Stu Burns and Tom Smith, who both grew up in Keighley.

The pair, who both attended Bronte and Oakbank School before leaving for university in 2005, teamed up with Liam Dunning and Rob Miles.

Since then, the quartet have been playing venues across Manchester, Liverpool and North Yorkshire.

Tom said: “Having kept in touch since school with Matthew Fowlds of The Ramblers and Chris Cookson of Beat the Poet, we’ve decided to put on three gigs in our three ‘home’ cities and towns.

“Manchester, Leeds and Keighley all have fantastic, well-established live music scenes, and we’re keen to take advantage of this.

“Of course, we love playing any gig, but we expect a Keighley homecoming gig to be particularly special.”
