Lovers of guitar-driven classic rock will be happy in Bilston this week.
On Wednesday there’s the return of legendary guitarist Robin Trower. After coming to prominence with Procul Harum in the sixties, Trower built a reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists of his era, drawing favourable comparisons with Jimi Hendrix. After touring for many decades and recording several albums, including the gold disc-winning Bridge of Sighs, he is still regarded as a tremendous live act. Support is from Aaron Keylock, a thirteen year-old guitarist who has already worked with the likes of Nine Below Zero and Sherman Robertson. Tickets £17.50
