SOUND of Rum star Kate Tempest will be among the highlights of the latest Rob da Bank Music Club at Quay Arts tomorrow (Tuesday).

The free music club, run in conjunction with the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, is open to anyone aged between 14 and 18.

Tomorrow will be the biggest music club, with music, dance, visual and arts workshops and jam sessions, taking place in each part of the Quay Arts, Newport.

The event starts at 5pm and Rob has confirmed Bestival favourite Kate will be leading a spoken word and poetry workshop.

A spokesman said: "Kate started writing poetry at around the same age most people started writing their own name. By the the time she was 15 she had composed material she felt was worthy of being heard.

"Plunging deep into the mainly male-orientated world of hip-hop rap-battling, she quickly earned a reputation as someone to be listened to."

*Level 42 star Mark King has been added to the music club line-up and will lead a bass workshop.
