Ben Hughes is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter from Worcester who first uploaded his music to us at the start of 2017.

He's influenced by some smooth movers in the industry like John Mayer, Bruno Mars and Michael Bubl茅.

Ben regularly busks around England, earning money to fund his home recording project, and also teaches piano.

"Beautiful soulful tunes; audiences are going to love him wherever he goes" - Andrew Marston.

The Rustic Folk Festival

The Rustic Folk Festival
The first festival of the season is underway, taking place at Hopley's Campsite just outside of Bewdley.

The Rustic Folk Festival, which is in its first year, will see a range of 'alternative' acts performing over the weekend.

Fans from as far field as Devon have made their way along the A456 to check out the music.

TV themes

TV themes
When you think of the most played artists of all time on British television, you could be mistaken in thinking it's the Beatles or the Kinks from the '60s,听Elton John or Stevie Wonder from the '70s, The Eurythmics or Wham from the '80s, Blur or Oasis in the '90s, or Eminem, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga from this side of the millennium.

But one artist from Malvern surpasses possibly all of those artists put together - yet nobody really knows who he is.

Composer Dave Lowe is all over the news - for all the right reasons...he's the man behind pretty much every TV news theme on the planet!
