Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our two counties.

Once a month, we've been recording acts chosen by us at a variety of venues across the area - including at some of our biggest festivals.

Our next recording session takes place on Friday 31 May at the Wychwood Festival on Cheltenham Racecourse on our very own stage and features the five acts we plan to broadcast throughout June.

Acts we've chosen to appear at the festival are Worcester's Becky Rose, This Wicked Tongue, The Delray Rockets, Leominster's George Barnett, Malvern's Dogs Of Santorini, Hereford's Jimmy Heartbreak and Brassick, who are from both counties.

None of these acts knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded here - which led them to receiving airplay on 大象传媒 Hereford & Worcester.

Meanwhile, if you're a venue or promoter, and would like to be featured in a future recording session please听get in touch.

Ellie Goulding, Cher Lloyd and now Peace - just some of the acts in our area who are charting right now - not just here in the UK, but right across the world.

Who would have thought that little old Kington, Malvern and Droitwich would have such international clout.

听

Well - we did, of course!

Peace have just been at 大象传媒 Maida Vale performing their take on some well-known classics.
