Live music from Control The Storm (Herefordshire)

Looking at the health of our local club scene, hearing from Old Bush Blues Festival, Upton's Sunshine Festival and Bromsgrove's Beermageddon - plus a rip-roaring set from Lakefest.

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

鈥 Since the start of the Covid pandemic, nearly 400 nightclubs across the UK have closed their doors for good. We're looking at the health of our local scene - and how Hereford's largest club is to broken up into a smaller venue.

鈥 Hearing from the organisers of the Old Bush Blues Festival, which returns to Callow End - between Worcester and Malvern - this weekend.

鈥 How it's all change at Upton's Sunshine Festival with 10cc stepping in for the Proclaimers who've suffered a perforated eardrum.

鈥 How live music is taking centre stage at next weekend's Sightfest, which is being organised by a local woman who lost her vision in just a matter a weeks.

鈥 We're celebrating the unsung heroes of Herefordshire & Worcestershire at the Make A Difference Awards, next month, shining a spotlight on inspiring stories like Dave Morgan's remarkable journey of fundraising success hosting OrchardFest's Puddle Party for the Primrose Hospice.

鈥 Chatting to Jim Beerman of Beermageddon, near Bromsgrove, where a decade-long legacy of hard-hitting success culminates in a three-day, ear-shattering celebration of independent and grassroots metal.

鈥 In this week's Kitchen Disco, we meet Kempsey's Chillz whose musical journey started after rummaging through her late brother's drum & bass CDs and has gone on to perform at Nozstock and beyond.

鈥 A rip-roaring live set from Herefordshire rockers Control The Storm who blew the tent poles off our 大象传媒 Music Introducing tent at Lakefest last weekend.
