Other acts on the bill include '80s band Fuzzbox and Sweet Female Attitude, as well as a whole range of local and emerging artists.
Malvern Winter Gardens

Local charity Rock Around the Hills created an interactive exhibition, thanks to a £60,000 grant, celebrating the story of rock, punk and progressive rock at the Winter Gardens from 1961 to 1990.

The display features more than 400 posters, tickets, flyers and fanzines, as well as recorded memories from audience members, musicians and promoters who were all part of the scene.

Having already been at Malvern Library and the Hive in Worcester, the exhibition has now moved to the airwaves - and we're broadcasting some of those memories over the coming months on our Sunday shows from 6pm.
