Barrow Lights switch on on 20th November 2010

The switch on will be hosted by The Bay presenters Danny Mathews and Tony Cookson and feature a new boy band The Mend and the UK's leading tribute act to The Saturdays - The Sundays.

The Sundays, who have Sophie Ellis Bextor amongst their supporters, have been playing to packed venues across the UK and Ireland. The girls have managed to catch the attention of Una Healy of The Saturdays who tweeted to wish them luck and to tell all her followers to check the band out.

The Mend has been put together by Take That mastermind Nigel Martin-Smith. The Mend write their own stuff and they were chosen from a newspaper advert for applicants for a new boy band. From 100 hopefuls these 4 young men were chosen for their talent, personality, attitude, looks and dedication to work.

The festivities will commence at 4 pm and last until 5.45 pm with the lights switch on at 5 pm.

To facilitate this event Duke Street from Schneider Square to Market Street and Market Street will be closed from 4 pm to 6 pm. Lawson Street and Market Street can be used to gain access to Market Street Car park. The buses and taxis operating out of Cornwallis Street will not be affected.
