Coun Teresa Cullen (Brox Alliance), portfolio holder for leisure and health at Broxtowe Council, said: “I’m hugely excited to be able to bring our Friday18 summer series to Kimberley this year.
"Taking place in four pubs across the town, this is a great initiative to support the Kimberley night time economy and talented local musicians.
"I encourage the Kimberley community to come out and start their weekend off with fantastic live music in some amazing venues.”
The summer sessions will bring some atmosphere to Kimberly, kicking off Friday nights with local musical talent.
Friday18 is an event which has developed through the council's C-City partnership with the German town of Gutersloh.
