Tune Up member Aine said: "Tune Up has been amazing, enriching and extremely useful in understanding the industry better."

Course coordinator, Caitlin Whittaker, added: "It's been really exciting putting together this show with the Tune Up group after 10 weekly workshops with them, where they've been learning lots of new skills that have directly fed into the production and promotion for this gig.

"We've got a brilliant line-up and everyone's really excited for the event."

The gig is on Saturday, February 3, and tickets are priced at just £6.
