Hereford's Bren Haze has recently returned back to the city after spending two years living in Austria.

He classes himself as an acoustic/rock guitarist who likes to mix up mellow tracks and then throw in the edgy sounds of Slash and Pink Floyd.

When he came back to the UK, he hadn't picked up a guitar in so long - he felt any prospects of getting a band back together were long gone - so instead he plays TWO guitars during his live shows!

For the last two years we've been taking the 大象传媒 Introducing Recording Roadshow out-and-about - and this was the last town in Herefordshire we've not yet visited.

When we rolled up at the Oxford Arms we were promised the biggest storm of the decade - which has been a general theme of our recording sessions this year - but luckily it came to nothing!

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 24 November at and features the five acts we plan to broadcast throughout December.

It's free to get in - and this is your chance to see how we capture live music on tape, while being able to enjoy some of the hottest new acts we've got in our area right now.

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

Doors open at 6pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up anytime until 10pm.听
