• In this week's Musicians' Masterclass - we uncover the secrets to successful stats on social media.

• Catching up with 22-year-old musician Josie Oliver, from Stone, whose music has been championed by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 after sending her music into us.

• In our Music News: Revealing the the line-up for next year's Hay Festival, details about Shrewsbury's Let's Rock Festival and how you can help an award-winning band in Cheshire.
