The Pretenders are famous enough that even people with little or no interest in music might well have heard of them. 

Far fewer are likely to know that the band actually originated here in the Midlands - in Herefordshire.

First enjoying chart success way back in 1979 with Brass In Pocket, they went on to score numerous other hits in the years that followed, including Back On The Chain Gang, Message Of Love, Talk Of The Town, Thin Line Between Love And Hate and Don't Get Me Wrong...

The Chrissie Hynde-fronted group is stopping off in Birmingham in support of critically acclaimed new album Relentless.
