The festival also saw a host of other musical acts take to the stage, including Indigo Kid, the Kidderminster Ukelele Club, SuperFuz, Infinite Madness, James Baker, Robin Nicholl and the Stourport on Severn Brass Band.
The event 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 Horsefair and Proud host the event to celebrate his life and bring the Kidderminster community together.
