    The Note

KEMPfest

A Wyre Forest hospice will host its first-ever music festival, in August, to celebrate its 50th birthday.
听
Kemp Hospice was founded in 1969 and it costs 拢1.5m a year to provide free healthcare to its patients and their families.
听
The inaugural听celebration will be taking place at SHED Food & Drink in Crossway Green, near Stourport, on Sunday, 18 August.

Artist of the Week

This week, we're championing the sound of a Worcester musician who, in a previous life, fronted a prog-rock band signed by the managers of Def Leppard that went on to support Foreigner, Jethro Tull, Ronnie Wood and T'Pau.
听
Famous fans include Mike Rutherford, of Mike & The Mechanics, who invited Paul Menel's band IQ to tour their classic album 'The Living Years' and compared Paul's vocal style to that of Paul Carrack.
听
Since his time with IQ, Paul moved to Worcestershire, grew a family and will be going back out on tour this year.

Voices Unlimited

It's a group of more than 100 people who regularly get together in Worcester to sing their hearts out, but Voices Unlimited would describe themselves as a world away from a 'conventional choir'.
听
Members say being part of it has changed their lives: "I had a big health scare. I wrote my own funeral. I was going to tell people what I regretted. When I got better I joined this wonderful group of people and I have sung ever since."
听
Another singer said: "I actually suffer with depression and I decided to do something with my life. I joined seven years ago and have never looked back. It's this massive great family every week."
听
Another said: "I'm part of 100 and I'm not the best singer here and I'm probably not the worst, but I love it. It just brings something to your life that you just never knew that you could have and love."
听
The group meets most Tuesday evenings at St. Peter's Church Hall in Worcester and to听find out more, visit
