A POPULAR duo from Grays will be playing at the Fake Festival on Saturday, in Blackshots Field – with a little help from their friends.

Filthy Gorgeous, comprising vocalist Alana Connor and guitarist Michael Fredericks, are known for their gigs around Thurrock and a “supergig” they played in January 2014.

Alana said: “We are going out as an eight-piece band instead of the usual duo this time and are on at around 3.45pm.

“We are dead excited about this gig as it has a huge marquee and fantastic sound system!”

Other upcoming gigs for the band include the Bull, in Little Thurrock, on Friday, June 5, and Unit 4, in Chafford Hundred, on Saturday, June 6.
