27 - 29 June: The Upton Jazz Festival

Last year's event had to be stripped back to basics because of falling visitor numbers.

Rachel Hayward has been appointed Music Director for the Festival in 2014.

Her remit is to help shape the event, engage with the bands and to maintain our traditions whilst bringing in new ideas.

From a New Orleans background, Rachel has played amongst the very best players on the British jazz scene for over 30 years.

She ran the Bude Jazz Festival for a number of years, and she now brings together her experience and love of music along with her exceptional organising skills as our Music Director for the Upton Jazz.听

大象传媒 Introducing in West Malvern

大象传媒 Introducing in West Malvern
Malvern is the most musical place in the region, if the number of tracks we receive from the town is anything to go by.

It's also the home to several open mic nights including Tuesdays at the Great Malvern Hotel, Wednesdays at The Morgan, Thursdays that used to be at Re-Con and occasional nights at The Unicorn.

The West Malvern Social Club is one such venue hosting regular music, so it was a natural choice to take our monthly recording roadshow to the hills - as we celebrated not only the best in music, but Mothering Sunday too!

Boris Johnson is worried that red tape is stopping artists from rocking up in the street and performing.

We investigate if that's true for our local musicians.

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 artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded to us.
