It's no tall tale that local performer Johnny B is touring the country, recording and organising a special gig in Keighley.

Johnny has already played a couple of dates of his Between Love & Sorrow tour which he says will be visiting most UK cities.

He last week recorded the song Taking Over, which he will release on October 20 during Cliffe Castle Cafe's open mic afternoon.

The CD will cost £2.50 and include two tracks and a music video, and will be the first release from Johnny's planned album.

Johnny -- real name John Bedford -- will host the Story Tellers tomorrow evening at Pilky's Sports Bar, Heber Street, Keighley.

Performers such as Declan Vink, Ben Blue Waters, William Stead, Keystone and Caledonia Road are expected talk about themselves and what inspired their songs.

Tickets are £4 on the door, with proceeds funding recording facilities for underprivileged young people at Johnny's Black Rock Music Studio.
