Celebrity Midlanders Part One - Musicians

The West Midlands has long been hailed as a breeding ground for creative talent, and this gallery of famous musicians is no exception.

Take our photo tour to find out which singers, producers and rock stars were born or raised in the region!

… and keep an eye out for our forthcoming galleries ‘Famous Midland Screen Stars’ and ‘Famous Midland Inventors’, coming soon.

The Twang

Birmingham indie rock outfit The Twang were formed in Quinton in 2001. Their debut single Wide Awake, released in early 2007, was recorded at The Magic Garden Studio in Wolverhampton. The band’s football loyalties are sharply divided, with one member supporting Villa, another supporting Birmingham City and the rest supporting Albion.
