WATCH - Local Musicians Perform to help us through the lockdown

If you are struggling with the boredom of the Coronavirus Lockdown, we are here to bring you some musical entertainment thanks to local musicians.

Every evening on WLR's social media we will be bringing you some local musical talent to get you through the monotony of the Coronavirus restrictions.
