Tony Christie to headline Kidderminster's Mr Tee in the Park

The star, who is best known for the hit song '(Is This the Way to) Amarillo', will be performing at the free event at St George's Park this Sunday (July 21).

The bash is in honour of the late Horsefair record shop owner Francis Terry Thomas, known by many as Mr Tee, who died after a battle with cancer in 2017.

Organisers have said the event, which is now in its fourth year, will celebrate the life of Mr Tee and bring the community together.

Tony said he is "really looking forward to the gig" and that he "can't wait to entertain everyone there".

He added that he hopes the weather is good on the day.

The event will feature a host of other musical acts including Indigo Kid, the Kidderminster Ukelele Club, Superfuzz, Infinite Madness, James Baker, Robin Nicholl and the Stourport on Severn Brass Band.

There will also be a range of other activities including face painting, circus skills, balloon modelling, a boxing workshop, hair braiding, and a wrestling show.

Street vendors and other stalls will also be set up on the day. The event takes place from noon until 7pm.

The previous instalment of Mr Tee in the Park, held in 2021, featured a performance from punk princess Toyah Willcox - who impressed punters on the day. 

This year's event will also celebrate ten years of Big Local DY10, a lottery-funded scheme run by people who live, work, and volunteer in the Horsefair, Greenhill and Broadwaters areas of Kidderminster.
