FOUR live bands and a karaoke competition will form part of a Fenland recording studio’s free open day tomorrow.

Cherry Tree Farm, Christchurch, was created in a converted barn 18 months ago by Jared Wild - and he is opening the doors tomorrow from noon-6pm.

Bands The New Leaves, from Peterborough; Dead Saints, from Christchurch/Downham Market; Nobody’s Fool, from Manchester; and Silent Jack, from Birmingham, will all perform.

The karaoke competition is free to enter - all you have to do is turn up, put your name down on a list and choose a song to sing. A panel of judges will choose the winner, who will get to record several tracks onto a CD.

Dynamite Karaoke of Wisbech, which is providing the equipment for the competition, will also DJ in-between the contest and the bands’ performances.

Mr Wild will offer guided tours of the studio and a question and answer session with visitors. Refreshments will be available.
