Becky Hill's triumphant Worcestershire homecoming

Bewdley's BRIT Award-winning queen of dance music performed a sell-out show back on one of the stages where it all began.

Bewdley's BRIT Award-winning queen of dance music performed a sell-out show back on one of the stages where it all began.

She first got in touch with BBC Introducing and BBC Hereford & Worcester in November 2010, with her band Shaking Trees while working behind the bar at the Cock & Magpie in Bewdley. And then came through her breakthrough on The Voice UK, where she went on to have the show's first number one single.

Since then she's become one of Britain's biggest success stories, with two top ten albums, multi-platinum hits, BRIT Awards, Glastonbury appearances, Reading & Leeds main stage performances and arena tours.

But on Sunday night, she came full circle, returning to Worcester's Marr's Bar for an intimate sold out show as part of the Everywhere At Once festival, all funded by the National Lottery, celebrating the grassroots venues that help launch careers and continue to make a difference in our communities on what would have been Glastonbury weekend.

We were sworn to secrecy about the gig - which sold out in just minutes - but went along with our friends from BBC Midlands Today, speaking to Becky, venue owner Brian Maher, and some of the 250 fans who packed into the venue to see her almighty return.
