What's on in Shropshire this weekend with tribute acts galore

Well... sort of. Some of the freshest talents are paying tribute to the stars in a weekend of smash hits from some of the world's biggest artists.

On Friday, audiences will be setting fire to the rain with Natalie Black as Adele at Shrewsbury's Buttermarket. The talented vocalist is to be joined on stage by a full live band.

Meanwhile, it's the return of the Rocketman over in Oakengates, as Charlie Barrington performs as Elton John.

On Saturday, a band crowned Best Led Zeppelin Tribute for seven consecutive years at the National Tribute Awards, Hats off to Led Zeppelin, continue to give Led Zeppelin fans old and new the chance to experience the power of their live concerts at Theatre Severn.

If you end Sunday with the theatre's tribute to country music, Forever Blue Jeans, you'll be getting a taste of western royalty including Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, The Carpenters, Carole King and more.

So whether it's modern ballads, classic bangers or thigh-slapping banjo music that gets those dancing shoes on, you're in for a treat.
