KIDDERMINSTER star Mike Sanchez has lined up alongside Rolling Stones' legendary guitarist Bill Wyman for an international tour which began last week.

Germany, Italy, Croatia and Austria - as well as a host of British dates - are on the agenda for Mike, who has taken over from Gary Brooker, who has rejoined Procul Harum, for the summer.

"Wow! I'll be sharing the stage with legends like Georgie Fame, Albert Lee and Mr Wyman himself," Mike said.

He has also announced the release of his long-awaited new album Blue Boy and is in the process of putting together the Mike Sanchez Rhythm and Blues Revue - "with the aim of creating a vintage Johnny-Otis style two-hour show".
