Bewdley's Gwyn Ashton on touring the world

The Bewdley musician who's just returned to the UK, after being locked down in Australia for the last three years, where he's written a whopping 110 songs and recorded 10 albums.

Andrew Marston brings you the very best unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire:

• Catching up with a Bewdley musician who's just returned to the UK, after being locked down in Australia for the last three years, where he's written a whopping 110 songs and recorded 10 albums.

• They last topped the charts on Wizzard's 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' - and now the kids at Kempsey Primary School, 50 years on, are starring on a new record fit for a king.

• Hearing from a transatlantic band who are writing songs together from their studios in Evesham and Cincinnati, Ohio.

• Artful Dodger, The Shapeshifters and Danny Byrd are heading Into The Woods to play at Bartestree, in Herefordshire, this July. We'll catch up with the organisers.

• After spending the last 10 years producing drum & bass records, now branching out to new styles, we catch up with this week's star of our Kitchen Disco - Droitwich's Jamie Hai.

• Headliners include George Ezra, Sophie Ellis Bexter and Pulp - we reveal which artists we've put forward to play at this year's Latitude Festival.
