Discover the Crewe act whose sound has been honed in Nashville, Tennessee. With Andrew Marston, live from Breaking Bands Festival, at Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove.

WARNING: This show may contain future chart-toppers! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Four days. One big birthday. Countless future icons. We’re live from Bromsgrove's Breaking Bands festival as it celebrates 10 years of championing the stars of tomorrow.

• 10 days. Multiple cities. Thousands of new listeners. We take you to India as we follow Albrighton's Holly Riva on tour.

• What even is a radio plugger? Ellie Best from Sony Music breaks it down — and reveals how ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing can open all the right doors in this week's Musicians' Masterclass.

• Bearded Theory lands on the Staffordshire border this weekend with Iggy Pop, the Manics and a proud 12-year legacy of raising £300k for local charities.

• Meeting the team from Hive Aid - a folk festival set up to save one of Shrewsbury's main music venues.

In our Music News: The Hay Festival has kicked off alongside HowTheLightGetsIn, the Ludlow Piano Festival and Upton's Dubs In The Middle.

• It's been going for over a decade and last year, more than 2,000 people came along - we're celebrating Newcastle-under-Lyme's Lymelight which returns this weekend.

• Catching up with Redditch rapper Flex who's been on a relentless mission - writing five songs a day - to perfect his sound.

• She once kept her love for country music a secret - but now she's flying back and forth to Nashville. Live music from Crewe's Jeorgia Rose, as performed at our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing event, as part of the Nantwich Jazz, Blues & Music Festival.

• Announcing which local DJs we've put forward to perform for Radio 1's Dance Weekend in Ibiza, this summer.
