Stuart Woolfenden is a 17-year-old musician from Redditch with a punk/rock driven sound.

As well as being a prolific songwriter, he's a prolific performer as well - often playing as many as three shows in a day.

He's been writing music since he started high school, has been shortlisted to support James Blunt at the NIA and interviewed on Midlands Today.

He's influenced by The Clash, Manic Street Preachers and the Kaiser Chiefs.

The Christmas lights have gone up across our towns and cities - and continuing our annual tradition, we play nothing but live music throughout the festive season.

In 2015, as we celebrated 10 years of supporting the very best unsigned, undiscovered & under-the-radar music, we continued to take the show on-the-road to some of the biggest events and most happening places in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

This week, hear some of the performances we recorded at the Artrix in Bromsgrove, The White Lion in Leominster, MappFest in Malvern, the Colwall Family Music Festival, the Bewdley Festival, the Globe in Hay-on-Wye, the Marr's Bar in Worcester and at LakeFest near Evesham.

Between now and Christmas, we're going behind-the-scenes at one of the most famous studios in the world, which is right here on our doorstep.
