Insomniacs are a four-piece punk/rock band from Redditch.

Formed in 2012 as a covers band, Tom, Ben, Josh and Jake soon started working on their own original material and within a year had played more than 50 venues.

They're influenced by Green Day, Blink 182, Bowling For Soup and Sex Pistols.

"Meaty, cutting-edge punk performed with explosive passion that had Redditch rocking." - Andrew Marston

Hereford River Carnival

Hereford River Carnival

Around 15,000 people turned up to last weekend's River Carnival in Hereford.

As well processions throughout the city and along the river, there was a lot of live music - hosted by the team behind Bromyard's Nozstock Festival.

After a gap of 50 years, the festival was re-launched in 2014 when 7,000 people enjoyed the fancy dress parade on the water.
