Tom Clarke, the lead singer from The Enemy, visited Bridlington Spa in November for a look at the venue.

“Recently I visited an outstanding venue in Bridlington,” he said.

"What makes the place special isn't the seafront location or the millions which have been invested into outfitting the place, for me it's the people who work there that want me and the band to come and play,” he said.

"You can buy fancy sound systems and plush interiors but people who are good at what they do and excited about doing it are a special thing.

" We can't wait to come and put on a show in Bridlington.”
