Ask around what British city you most associate with very fine music, and I think its fair to say most of you would say Middlesbrough. So it is no surprise, perhaps, that the Middlesbrough Music Live festival, due to take place on 31 May, has such a good line up. We're talking The 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Electric Six, The Ordinary Boys, Kosheen, Razorlight, Goldie Lookin' Chain, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, The Dead 60's, The Features, The Open, Bloc Party, The Glitterati, Kasabian and My Red Cell. And not only that, there are slots still available on the bill and promoter Graham Ramsay is giving you the option to nominate bands via website http://www.middlesbroughmusiclive.co.uk.
Ramsay told the NME: "Every year, a huge number of the bands we book come from suggestions from the public... we'd love people to e-mail and tell us who they want to see, and we'll do our best to book the most popular suggestions."
