All this month here on 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester we're remembering the biggest gigs in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.
听
And if it took place anywhere, it took place in Kidderminster.
听
Everyone from Fleetwood Mac to Captain Beefheart, Robert Plant to T Rex would play at Frank Freeman's.
听
Sadly, in 1991 Frank collapsed and died while working at the club leaving his wife Wynne to run it until it eventually closed in 2003. She died just 5 years later. We spoke to her in 2007 and hear her memories on tonight's show.
听

This month's sessions were recorded at the atmospheric Victory in Hereford.
听
The pub, opposite the fire station, recreates the interior of Lord Nelson's flagship and has a galleon-looking oak bar complete with cannons and tonnes of ship paraphernalia.
听
The performance area is a double floor that takes you back to the battle of Trafalgar with galleys, ropes and rigging - all that's missing is the smell of gunpowder!
听
The landlord, Jim Kenyon, has also decorated the outside wall of the pub with a WW2 mural dedicated to Help For Heroes.
