STOURPORT-on-Severn's Riverside Folk And Acoustic Club will be going wild this evening as it welcomes folk act The Badgers to the stage for a performance.

The group - one of the Midland's most popular folk acts - have merged the traditional styles of gypsy jazz, blues, bluegrass, Celtic, western swing and folk, to create their own sound.

They also play internationally and perform on a regular basis with violin legend, Dan Cassidy, with recent tours taking in Germany, the US, Ireland and Iceland.

Doors open for their gig tonight at 7.30pm and admission is £3.
