ROCKERS Salem UK have experienced a rollercoaster career since the late 1970s and are now bringing them all the way back to Hull Fair.

The heavy metal group's latest incarnation is promoting album Outer Limits named after one of the fair's longest running rides in the lead up to Walton Street spectacular in two weeks’ time.

Bassist and original member Adrian Jenkinson recorded, produced, engineered and mastered the album of ten tracks in his Hull studio, alongside singer Simon Saxby, guitarist Jonny Hirons and drummer Ian Latus. He says the concept album about the travelling fun fair was sparked by a memorable name.
