AN up-and-coming singer and guitarist from Redditch will be playing his first headline show this weekend to celebrate the release of his new EP.

Stuart Woolfenden, likened to Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz, will be performing at Death or Glory Records on Church Green on Saturday, November 22.

Stuart will be playing with a live band, the second time he's played with a group - the first going down very well with the crowd at Morton Stanley Festival.

His new EP, Are You Vulnerable or Just Insane, features four original songs with strong acoustic melodies and infectious lyrics.

Doors for the special show open at 7pm with support from Lucy May Walker and Conor Rabone.

The young singer will also be opening for X Factor boyband Overload Generation when they perform to hundreds of fans on November 23 in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.
