THE first Shindig of 2013 takes place on March 9.

Weymouth rock ‘n’ roll three-piece The Surfin’ Birds, who recently released a five-track EP, will headline the event at the Cellar Bar in Boscombe.

Support will come courtesy of Basic Blues, SlapDashPicks, hosts Kentucky Fight Club and Catch 22.

Later in the year Shindig will be bringing you music from the likes of the Zipheads, the Skimmity Hitchers, King Salami and the Cumberland Three and Lady Winwoods Maggot.
