Malvern Winter Gardens

Malvern is well known for its classical connections, but many people are unaware of the town's other musical story.
Ìý
From the early '60s, for a period of around 30 years, Malvern Winter Gardens rocked to the sounds of bands such The Jam, The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Hawkwind and many more, some of whom were in their infancy at the time.
Ìý
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.
Ìý
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.
Ìý
Having already been at Malvern Library and the Hive in Worcester, the exhibition now moves to the airwaves - and we'll be broadcasting some of those memories over the coming months on our Sunday show from 6pm.

Malvern Pride

What do you do if you love the town you live in, but you don't feel it celebrates a community you identify with?
Ìý
Organise a big event bringing everyone together, of course!Ìý
Ìý
That's what a small team of volunteers have done, putting on the first Malvern Pride in Priory Park, which took place last weekend.
Ìý
We'll bring you the highlights as we meet the fans and the bands!
