AFTER a successful night in Southampton two top bands are about to give a repeat performance in Portsmouth.

Popular local band Little Green, who hail from Calmore and Waterside, did West Country trio Blackbud proud when they got together at the Joiners, Southampton.

They'll be back on stage together at Portsmouth's Wedgewood Rooms on Wednesday, May 3.

Blackbud, who have played more than 200 gigs, will be headlining.

The trio has been given the nod of approval by Jimmy Page and toured the UK and Europe.

They have supported the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Elbow, Keane and Babyshambles.

They've been taken under the wings of Youth and Michael Eavis and been picked up by Fierce Panda. And as if that isn't enough they've had song in a Hollywood film.

Not bad for a band who only recently said goodbye to their teens.
