Quill @ Regal Theatre, Tenbury Wells – Saturday 25th July 2026
Rock royalty came to Tenbury Wells over the weekend when Quill, including Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bev Bevan behind the drum kit, treated the sold out crowd to an electrifying performance at the Regal Theatre. Dating back to the 1930’s, the Regal Theatre underwent a major restoration and repair back in 2011 that saw many original features reinstated. It now serves as the towns principal entertainment venue offering a wide and varied programme for the local community. It offers excellent sound quality and a real feeling of warmth and intimacy, making it a wonderful place to enjoy live music.

Still led by vocalist Joy Strachan-Brain, Quill have been delighting audiences for more than half a century and yet this was their first ever time in Tenbury Wells. Given the reaction they received tonight, it surely won’t be their last. Joy, Bev and the rest of the band delivered a show that took in some of Quill’s own material, alongside their own twist on some well known rock and pop classics. And they also highlighted several songs by bands that originated here in the Midlands, including some of those Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne hit singles that Bev was very much a part of back in the 60’s and 70’s.
