Members of Woking Youth Council tuned their guitars and practised their riffs on Monday (28 January), to encourage young people to audition for UPROAR, a music event being held at H.G. Wells Conference and Events Centre on Thursday 10 April 2008.

The auditions will be held on Wednesday 13 February from 6pm to 9pm at Woking Youth Arts Centre, Trinity Road, Knaphill and on Saturday 16 February from 2pm to 5pm at The Ypod, Chobham Road, Woking.

Bands of all genres are welcome to audition, as long as all members are aged 12 to 18. Each audition lasts 20 minutes, including set up and set down time and bands must play two songs. Those auditioning are requested to bring their own equipment. A drum kit and amplifier will be provided.

All money raised from the music event will be donated to Eikon, Woking Youth Council's nominated charity, who work with young people and families living in difficulty or unhappy circumstances.

Tickets for the event will be on sale from March and will be available from the Civic Office or Youth Councillors.
