A hard-house masterclass outside Stoke's 400-year-old Ford Green Hall, celebrating the city's 100th birthday with a mix like no other.

CAUTION: This show may contain future stars! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Our Festival Guide previewing Blossoms at Delamere Forest, Bromsgrove's Sonic Rock Solstice, Daresbury at Walton Hall, the English Country Music Weekend in Whitchurch, Parklands Festival in Telford, Snow Patrol at Cannock Chase Forest, the Upton Jazz Festival and GlastonBeoley in Redditch.

• Looking ahead to this weekend's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing event where we've managed to blag...a stadium gig! We're heading off to Stoke City FC to host some of the hottest new acts from across our area - and you're invited!

• DJPman has landed in Ibiza - hot off the heels of performing on board the Severn Valley Railway for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing, the Redditch producer is now spinning his first-ever international DJ sets.

• 17-year-old Macy O, who lives near Bridgnorth, has been recognised as one of the UK’s Top 10 Young Songwriters. She talks us through the track that earned her the title, plus insights from judge Emily Phillips.

• How do you turn a stranger at a gig into a lifelong supporter? This week’s Musicians’ Masterclass brings answers from the people making it happen.

• In your Music News: Robert Plant joins campaigners in Bewdley as they carry out a peaceful protest along the River Severn, the Stoke musicians who are trying to create opportunities for the next generation, and meeting the couple who got engaged during a Cheshire musicians' gig!

• Incredible musicians, extraordinary places: To celebrate 100 years of Stoke-on-Trent, we’re showcasing six local DJs performing their original music in each of the city’s six towns. She’s played Ibiza, smashed a 90-hour DJ set, and taught kids in Sierra Leone how to mix - this week's live session comes from Amber D, whose music and mentoring is breaking boundaries and building communities all over the world.
