No Favors in session
The final instalment of headbanging music from our stage at the Alsager Music Festival and how Stoke aims to bounce back from the week the bars and clubs fell silent.
Warning: this show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:
• How the music fell silent in Stoke: Hearing about the violent scenes on the streets of Hanley that led to a weekend of gigs being cancelled.
• Coverage of Herefordshire's biggest music festival - Lakefest at Eastnor Castle - ahead of our three-day ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing takeover. Headliners include Olly Murs, Amy Winehouse Band and Rudimental.
• It’s supported 50,000 young people since it launched in Shrewsbury 19 years ago: How you could help The Hive face their battle to stay open.
• Your festival guide for the next seven days includes Lakefest at Eastnor Castle, Priorfest in Bromsgrove, the Old Bush Blues Festival near Worcester, Down On The Farm in the Golden Valley, Puddle Party presents OrchardFest, Pershore Jazz, Farmer Phil's Festival near Church Stretton, Camp Bestival near Telford, Deva Fest in Malpas, Just So Festival in Alsager and Trentham Live.
• Meeting our Artist of the Week - a young Wem dance artist whose exceptional production has taken the world by storm.
• Tributes to Malvern legend Andy Mapp, who created the MappFest music festival, who died at the weekend.
• In our Music News: Stoke legend Lemmy's ashes are to go on display at this weekend's Bloodstock festival on the Staffordshire border and Pershore's Toyah Willcox has been announced for Strictly Come Dancing.
• The final instalment of headbanging live music from our stage at the Alsager Music Festival, courtesy of a Stoke-on-Trent five piece No Favors who've honed their craft over the last four decades.
