The Wandering Hearts are band that has had one of the quickest rises to fame in the industry.

They formed just three years ago in Tim鈥檚 home; during their second session they uploaded a rough recording to SoundCloud and within 30 minutes they had a manager who landed them a record deal with Decca.

Tim, who's originally from Worcester, has gone on to star in Once and Kinky Boots on London's West End.

The Wandering Hearts听have since been making waves online and on tour with country music legend Marty Stuart in the UK, won the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award and warmed up the crowd at Hyde Park鈥檚 Summer Festival before Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks graced the stage. And that鈥檚 not to mention performing on 主播大秀 Radio 2 for Jools Holland and Bob Harris!

The band has, most recently, become the first-ever group to make their U.S. debut at Nashville鈥檚 prestigious Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman in the same week. They also performed at the famous Bluebird Caf茅 and Elvis Presley鈥檚 Graceland.

3 - 5 August: The Drunken Monkey Rock Festival nr Upton
Now in its听fourth year, this annual event is run by volunteers and more than 50 bands will be playing for free.

There's two stages and free weekend camping, all raising money for the Midlands Air Ambulance.

The event, which takes place on the Welland Road, raised more than 拢5,000 for charity in its first 12 months.

Highlights: Wizzafest nr Bromsgrove
This year Wizzafest returned to Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club after being held at Dodderhill Equestrian Centre for a while.

Their 2017 event was cancelled because of a financial shortfall.

Last year's event left the organisers 拢1,700 out-of-pocket and despite holding other fundraising activities, they failed to make enough to host a summer event.

But this year the festival returned with live music, dance workshops, storytelling and interactive stalls.
