Having impressed the judges with her rendition of Lianne La Havas' What You Don't Do, Megan is now being mentored by judge Paloma Faith on the BBC show.

Before going on the show though, she toured the West Midlands playing intimate, acoustic sets. One of the venues she has performed at regularly is The Grain Store, in King Street.

Andrew Rhodes, manager at The Grain Store, is happy with the success of Megan, who actually held her wedding reception at the venue.

"She had her wedding reception here a few months back," said Rhodes.

"We have a night every Thursday called Live Sessions and she has done a few of those here.

"Every time she's been, the crowds here have really enjoyed it so its nice to see something come out of Wolverhampton - a bit of home-grown talent."

The blind auditions continue on The Voice tonight from 7.45pm on BBC One.
