JAPANESE band Anger Flares appears at The Witton Chimes on Tuesday, August 4 in what is billed as a ‘Tuesday night showdown’.

The band performs punk and oi, and is to perform as part of its UK tour.

It will be supported by Bearing Loss, ‘heavy-hitting hardcore from the heart of Cheshire,’ and Redneck Zombies, billed as ‘15 years of Northwich’s least-rehearsed punk rock band’.

Concert organiser Chris Mundie said: "I have a band on all the way from Japan, which I think is a first for Northwich.

"I want to get as many people down to the gig as possible as all the other dates they are doing are in major cities, and it would be great to show them that the smaller towns in England have something to offer too."

Admission to the gig, which starts at 8pm, is free.
