Next of Kin are bringing their music to Braintree this month with a special gig at the town's Arts Theatre.

The band, known from their time on the X Factor, is made up by brothers Nate, Kieran and Mark Bass who will all be heading back to town for the gig on December 21.

The former Notley High School pupils, who now live in Witham and Colchester are excited to be playing their gig in the theatre. 

Eldest brother Nathan said: “We’ve moved around to different places in Essex and never really came back to Braintree so to go back to Notley High and to get to play where we were brought up is brilliant.

“I think a lot of people do miss out as we have been playing all over the place and not been playing many gigs in Essex which is really odd.

“So we are sure all of our family and friends will come it’s really good they can see us as a live band.

“I think they will be in for a treat.”

Tickets for the gig, which starts at 7.30pm, are available at £20 each.
