ACOUSTIC artist, King Rich, is to play a sixth charity concert in Kidderminster, having already raised hundreds of pounds for various causes during previous events.

The organisation benefiting from the upcoming gig, at Kidderminster Library on Monday, will be the Cerebral Palsy Appeal.

He has assembled a line-up of long-time supporters of Wyre Forest fund-raising concerts, including Kate Wragg, Nick Townsend, of Weak 13, and Neutron Tears, as well as Alex Reid and Luke Brant, who will play acoustic sets.

The charity concert coincides with the launch of King Rich's third mini-album, T'Crossroads of Love Affairs Gone Lost.

"This will be the sixth charity concert I've set up at the library and the previous events have raised good money for varying charity organisations," he said. "I see the event as, probably, the most important event I'm currently involved with."

He added: "The music scene in Kidderminster has also prospered, with the venue providing an opportunity as as a fantastic facility for a hybrid of emerging singer/songwriter and artistic talents.

"The event has turned into an extremely positive community event." Among charities that have received cash from the previous concerts over the past 16 months have been the British Heart Foundation, Forest Dog Rescue and the tsunami disaster appeal fund.

Doors for Monday's concert open at 7pm, with performances running from 7.30pm until 9.30pm. Tickets are available in advance, at a discounted rate, from the library, or on the night.

King Rich has played all the instruments on his new mini-album, which will be on sale at the concert.

"I've been banging away at the album since January, doing a recording session here and there, and it's finally complete," he said.

"There's already been some very positive feedback from industry insiders from promos I've sent out.

"The tracks on the album are of an honest nature, penned from my own life experiences, mainly focusing on lyrical avenues of lost love. The album has already been picked up by various radio stations up and down the UK."
