Later this month she will be performing in the next heat for a place in July's Grand Final in Birmingham.

大象传媒 Introducing in Leominster
This month, we returned to the largest town in Herefordshire to showcase some of the amazing talent we have in our area right now.

The Bell Inn, on Leominster's Etnam Street, is a place that is regularly hosting live music at the weekend - so we thought we'd spice up their bank holiday Sunday afternoon by inviting along some of our favourite musicians!

The venue was packed with people who turned out to catch Abby Inez, Myles Gordon, Lucy May Walker and Sea Of Atoms - and if you missed their set, we'll be bringing you the whole lot throughout May.
