Pete Adams profiles the stars of the Worcestershire music scene. This week: Zebedy Rays Who: Adam Hickman (guitar/vocals), Danny Meigh (bass), Josh Powell (drums).

From: Malvern/Worcester.

Sounds like: The bright young things of the local scene, Zebedy Rays can do no wrong. Their mix of raw rock'n'roll and experimental jazz/blues is drawing in audiences both locally and further afield and they have already come to the attention of such luminaries as Nigel Clarke (ex-Dodgy). With an amazingly energentic stage show, sponsorship by Hughes & Kettner, plus a BBC session under their belts, Zebedy Rays are shining bright.

Fact: Drummer Josh is only 16 years old but plays like Charlie Watts.

Gigs: Friday, June 1 - Flapper & Firkin, Birmingham.

Friday, June 15 - The Herdman, Hereford.

Friday, July 13 - Thom Donaldson Charity Gig at RSRE, Malvern Link.

Saturday, July 14 - PopArt Weekender at Lark In The Park, London.

Sunday, July 15 - Our City's Not Dead at the Marr's Bar, Worcester.
