HOMEGROWN Beatles tribute band The Beatle-Maniacs will provide entertainment in the build-up to Redcar's Christmas lights switch-on this Sunday.
Brothers Richard and James Jordan, who take the roles of John Lennon and Ringo Starr, are from Redcar. Chris Johnson, aka Paul McCartney, is from Skelton while the George Harrison member, guitarist Greg Alderson, is from Newcastle.
The build-up starts at 2pm and Santa will eventually switch on the lights at 4.30pm.
Dormanstown Delegates Juvenile Jazz Band will lead Santa's parade from the town's bus depot at 4pm to travel down the High Street, with Santa starting off in a giant pick-up truck then walking along the pedestrianised section to the stage.
Children from the Topling Community Arts Group, who are performing earlier in the afternoon, will join the parade too, dressed in Christmas costumes. A toytown fair, with children's rides, is being set up on the High Street's pedestrianised section.
