Although Mappfest founder Andy Mapp has stepped down from the festival itself, he says he is still determined to bring “quality rock” to Malvern.

And a local audience can look forward to a tribute to Motorhead’s fallen heroes, this April.

A spokesman said: “Remembering the Cube from the good old days and seeing the hard work and investment going on he couldn’t resist going back to his old promotion days.

“Now Leader of Down are coming back to Malvern as part of their UK Spring tour promoting their new album “Cascade into Chaos” which has been released worldwide on the American label Cleopatra Records.

“After headlining the Mappfest in 2017, Leader of Down have gone on to release both an album and single which spent ten weeks in the German Rock Charts and completed a successful tour supporting Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons.”

The spokesman added: “The band was the brainchild of Grammy nominated former Motörhead guitarist Würzel and bass player Tim Atkinson who after forming the band Leader of Down, busied themselves in a London rehearsal studio writing dozens of tracks in preparation for recording an album.

“The name Leader Of Down came from Würzel mishearing the lyrics to the Status Quo track “Down, Down”. Würzel found this extremely funny as he had been singing the wrong words “Down Down, Leader of Down” for over 30 years.

“The band started recording the initial tracks for the album which included a reworking of Würzel’s solo release from the 80’s “People Say I’m Crazy” ( B side of the single “Bess”).

After Würzel’s tragic death in 2011 the band continued to finish the album and enlisted the help of some friends to honour the great man. It is all, of course, a tribute to Würzel and the other fallen Motörhead heroes.”

The diary date for The Cube show is April 12.

Tickets are available from the Cube Venue.
