FORMER Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow delighted a packed crowd when he headlined the first of the free South Tyneside Festival concert series in South Shields.
The star took to the stage at Bents Park on Sunday, where he was joined by boyband New Rules, who recently released their new song Fix Somebody, and local group The Good Souls, who covered a range of songs from The Killers to Oasis.
Celebrated for his role in the group as well as a successful solo career, Pellow created chart-topping, multi-platinum albums, holding the record for the longest number one in UK chart history and creating one of the four biggest selling songs in the UK of all time.
Lightning Seeds and Phats and Small will perform at Bents Park on Sunday, followed by Midge Ure and Nick Heyward on July 28 and Gabrielle on August 4.
