Eden Prince in the mix
Ibiza-approved melodies spun from the pulpit of Bethesda Chapel, celebrating 100 years of Stoke-on-Trent. Plus Euan Blackman in session at the legendary Cavern Club.
Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Phillip Stoneman sits in for Andrew Marston, introducing the best new music from our area, including:
• We announce the act, put forward by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing, who'll make everyone's hearts skip skip a beat on the banks of the River Teme.
• Last month he got his own statue in his hometown of Burslem - now the name of the legendary Motorhead frontman could give the Queen's Hall in Stoke - which has been closed for over a decade - a new lease of life.
• Lady Gaga has her little monsters, Beyonce has the Beyhive, Taylor Swift has her Swifties: We meet the Broseley bedroom pop act who has cultivated her own international fandom, from scratch, in a matter of months.
• In the Music News: Rounding up the local musicians performing at this year's Glastonbury Festival, the Staffordshire performers blazing a trail at the Stoke-on-Trent centenary parades and the Eurovision stars coming to Shropshire.
• A double dose of live music: Raising the roof at Liverpool's legendary Cavern Club, the Redditch musician who keeps taking his Phoebe Bridgers inspired sound to continuous new heights.
• In the week of Stoke-on-Trent turning 100, we launch a proper afterparty for the airwaves! Six towns, six DJs, six iconic locations and 100 minutes of live original music. Tonight we bring you the first of those mini-mises, with Ibiza-approved melodies from the pulpit of the historic Bethesda chapel, courtesy of the Hanley DJ fresh from his residency on the White Isle.
