Available for 31 days

Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Phillip Stoneman introduces the best new music from our area, including: • Three months ago, we gave a Worcestershire RnB sensation the ultimate surprise. Now, hear the set in full, in front of a massive crowd, from Radio 1's Big Weekend, for Rubii, who's from Alvechurch. • In our Musicians' Masterclass: We break down what makes a funding application stand out and what it takes to channel your energy in to a sustained push for funding. • What connects Nile Rodgers, Sam Ryder and Andrew Lloyd-Webber? The answer is an 18-year-old singer from Staffordshire, who joined them all on stage, a fortnight ago! Discover Cheadle's Jos Rivers, performing alongside some of the all-time great songwriters, at the world-famous London Palladium. • Bewdley's Becky Hill is back once again at the cutting edge of dance music. Ahead of her sold-out show in Worcester at the end of the month and news of a third record in September, the two-time BRIT winner shares why this time, it's personal. • In the Music News: Herefordshire and Staffordshire farmers sing their way to the title in Britain's Got Talent, the Stoke act topping the charts and the Telford College student playing with legendary songwriter Guy Chambers. • Burslem turned up the volume for its first Urban Rock Festival, also known as LemmyFest, with thousands packing the town for a celebration of rock history and a year since the Lemmy statue was unveiled.
