Isle of Wight band The Optimists will perform on a lineup as part of a collaboration between a Newport venue and the BBC.
The band will perform for Sounds of the South at Strings Bar and Venue on Thursday (7th August).
The event sees the Island venue partner with BBC Introducing Solent, offering emerging artists the chance to perform at the grassroots music venue. The concerts are curated with artists who have been played on the radio as part of BBC Introducing.
Also performing on the day are LLOREN and Emilia Tarrant, from the mainland.
Strings Bar and Venue previously held the inaugural edition of Sounds of the South in early July, with a lineup that featured Isle of Wight singer-songwriter Ruby.
The Optimists will be the Island representative at this month’s showcase.
