In session
听
In the late '80s, he used to be in the forces and starred in a Pet Shop Boys tribute band in the Falklands called the Chip Shop Boys, which is handy as Chris Lowe is one of his influences - along with Vince Clark and Martin Gore!
听
He says he's never touched a computer and insists on programming drums from scratch.
听
He's now gone solo - and this was only his second-ever gig.
听
Becky Hill
听
Back then, she was writing and performing tracks with a band called听.
听
Over those next few months, we forwarded three of her best singles onto Huw Stephens and Tom Robinson and invited her band to perform a live session with us at Nozstock.
听
Just one year later, Becky landed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to听.
听
Although she didn't win it,听.
听
She's since teamed up with several high profile producers and is regularly performing gigs all over the world.
听
On last week's show, we heard about her collaborations with Wilkinson, Rudimental and Oliver Heldens - so tonight we ask "what's next?".

大象传媒 Introducing: The Worcester Music Festival
听
The event has been compared to a local version of SXSW with several pubs and clubs around the city hosting live music with song-writing workshops also taking place during the weekend.
听
It was founded in 2008 by Chris Bennion who makes Worcestershire Sauce who wanted his area to be known for more than just Lea & Perrins.
听
YouTube Dad
听
29-year-old Matthew Finch, from Hollywood, recently became a dad for the first time so he decided to write and sing a song for his 13-day-old daughter.
听
The clip shows Matt, with baby Ivy who's asleep, playing her Ivy's Dream Song.

Monthly roadshows
听
Since the beginning of 2011, we've taken our 大象传媒 Introducing show out on-the-road to various areas across our patch to bring people a flavour of the local music scene.
听
Every month, we rock up at a different venue with a pile of microphones, cables and recording equipment along with several vans full of enthusiastic musicians!
听
As well as the bands being able to invite an audience, we also bring along a number of music industry professionals to comment on the live acts.
听
We tend to host our sessions on evenings/weekends is because it's normally a quiet time for venues - so effectively you get a free gig curated with the best bands (from the thousands who have submitted their music to us), full tech provided, plus听听- so effectively you just need to open your doors!
