Councillor Ian Brookfield, driven by his love of rock music, has teamed up with Facebook fan group Rockers Through the Ages to organise the event at The Slade Rooms on Saturday, April 8.

Kicking off at the Broad Street venue from 4pm, it intends to showcase some of the best upcoming rock talent in Wolverhampton.
