TORQUAY SEAFRONT'S One World Café on Abbey Gardens is making a name as an alternative live music venue after another successful outdoor performance from popular Torquay band Big Wave.

Over one hundred people attended the intimate homecoming gig from the five piece guitar popband, fresh from playing at Dorset's End of the Road Music Festival with Beach House, Patti Smith and Graham Coxon.

He added, "The End of the Road festival was great; we had some real positive feedback. It looks like we've picked up some new fans and it was a real privilege to play on that line-up. The organisers have invited us to play in Plymouth next month for their Oxjam live event on the Barbican."
