VITAL is performing in Birmingham on Wednesday

The former The Ticket Star Unsigned act, who hosts his own weekly radio show on BBC WM as well as his youth work with local schools and The Way Youth Zone in his home city, is part of a new tour called Welcome To My City.

The five-date tour has five artists, each calling one of the destinations their hometown. VITAL has been picked to represent Birmingham, and so headlines the Birmingham show at The Castle & Falcon on Wednesday as he is the local artist.

His show - The Midlands Source - will aim to promote local artists who he also likes to help through workshops run at schools and prisons as well as lessons in music making and production at Wolverhampton's Youth Zone - The Way.

The five-act performance was initially booked in at The Flapper, but a quick sell-out and clamour for mroe tickets saw it moved to the bigger venue.

Joining VITAL on the night will be Fred Fredas, China Bowls, Chesqua and Chiedu Oraka. They kick off the tour in London tomorrow, before playing Bristol on Monday, Manchester on Tuesday, Wednesday's Birmingham outing and the final date on Thursday in Hull.

Tickets are already running thin for the new venue too, with VITAL saying: "The Birmingham Show I'm headlining. It sold out last week so they moved it from The Flapper to a bigger venue - the Castle & Falcon.

His show - The Midlands Source - aims to promote local artists who he also likes to help through workshops run at schools and prisons as well as lessons in music making and production at The Way Youth Zone.
