JOURNEY South will journey home tomorrow night when the X-Factor duo launch the BBCs Proms in Park.

Brothers Carl and Andy Pemberton, who make up group, will perform during the warm-up to the big event in Middlesbroughs newly created Centre Square.

They will play two tracks from their new album, including their forthcoming single That's What I Love About Home, as well as the hit The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face.

Thousands of people are expected to picnic under the stars for the event, which will be hosted by BBC Tees' breakfast host, Matthew Davies.

Music for the concert will be provided by Northern Sinfonia - recently named as one of the UKs top three orchestras by The Times newspaper - which will be conducted by Michal Dworzynski.

There will be a big screen live link to London's Royal Albert Hall for the famous Last Night of the Proms celebrations and will be followed by a fireworks finale.

Teesside born opera singer, Suzanna Clarke, who trained with the late Pavarotti's tutor in Italy and was a leading campaigner to get the Proms in the Park event set up in Middlesbrough, said: "The event is going to be fantastic. This is exactly what we need for the area, it is absolutely vital.

"I am hoping everyone will turn out and show the nation what we can do. The weather is going to be good so everyone should get themselves down to the square.

"For the quality we are going to have on stage, the prize is amazing. We have got such a wide range of music on offer."

As well as Journey South, The Wildcats of Kilkenny and the Tees Valley Youth Choir will also be on hand to kick-start the evening's entertainment.

A film prepared by the University of Teesside featuring local celebrities endorsing the proms in the park event will be shown. There will be street entertainers prior to the pre-event to amuse younger prom-goers.

Gates open at 5.30pm, the pre-show entertainment will begin at 6.15pm and the main event will take place between 7.30pm and 10.30pm.

Tickets are 10 for adults, 8 concessions (over 60s, under 18s), under 12s go free with an accompanying adult and are available from Middlesbrough Town Hall's box office on 01642-729729 or via www.bbc.co.uk/proms
