Blues singers shout for the Dragons.

Byline: CARL BUTLER

THEY'LL be playing the blues but supporting the Dragons - singing duo Midnight Hustle will be entertaining fans at this Sunday's Wrexham v Chester City derby.

It's part of the club's Wrex-Factor programme which showcases local talent and the Wrexham band, who recently agreed a songwriting deal with a top Country and Western music company, will play a short set at half-time in the Blue Square Conference match.

Midnight Hustle are Dai Evison, from Overton on Dee, and Ady Burns, from Caia Park, Wrexham and the Racecourse date is their latest gig since signing with manager Gareth Kelly, a partner in the North Wales law firm of Cyril Jones and Co, who has been guiding the pair through the complexities of their major contract with C and W giants Paramount.

Dai said: "I've been going to The Racecourse since my dad took me when I was about four so I go back to the 70s and the heyday of David Smallman, Noddy Thomas, Billy Ashcroft and Bobby Shinton."

Ady added: "It's part of Wrex-Factor and as Wrexham lads we're delighted to be out there on the pitch.

Wrexham FC Marketing Manager Fenella Gavin said: "Wrex-Factor has been a big success.

"We see it as a way of entertaining the fans at half-time and providing g a showcase for some fantastic local talent.
