HMV Merry Hill and RawSound.tv host latest live showcase with Shrewsbury's Black Bear Kiss and Birmingham's The Arosa
Saturday saw the latest live music showcase at HMV’s Merry Hill store, in conjunction with online music magazine show RawSound.tv.
The fortnightly show, who earlier this year appeared in The Star’s Unsigned column, set up the live music programme with the Brierley Hill-based store to help local acts promote their material by getting the chance to play live in the shop and sell their records on the shelves.
As well as seeing the bands perform, fans and newcomers could meet them after they performed and get their new purchases signed and photos taken.
