Supporting Olly Murs, courtesy of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing, Shrewsbury's future superstar of pop performs live from Ludlow Castle. With Andrew Marston.

Warning: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Live from Ludlow: Supergrass, Jake Bugg and Olly Murs stormed the castle's 6,000-strong crowd – we’ve got exclusive highlights and a few surprises too.

• He lived in Ranton, rocked Birmingham, and shared a brotherhood with Broadway’s Tony Iommi. This week, the region remembers Ozzy - one of its own.

• Forget copy-paste choruses – this week's Musicians’ Masterclass is all about instinct, evolution and why young voices might just be your greatest teachers.

• The kilns might be cold, but the dancefloor was on fire - hearing how DJ Jordan Tilstone sold out Gladstone in a bold bid to reboot Stoke’s rave scene.

• Another Shropshire breakthrough - ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing regular Gracie Beverley hits the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 1 airwaves with The Big Bang, a heartfelt story of love, confidence and raw emotion.

• Hereford plays host to what's believed to be the longest running music event in Europe - the week-long Three Choirs Festival, which draws to a close this weekend.

• In your Music News: A Worcestershire DJ is gearing up for the gig of a lifetime – performing live for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 1 in Ibiza this weekend. And Stoke’s own Robbie Williams? He’s just snapped up a $60 million mansion in Miami.

• This week's Featured Artist is for fans of Queens of the Stone Age and Bon Iver - we hear from Shrewsbury's Lucifer's Beard, who's been sending music into us since 2016.

• And representing ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing in style: Shropshire’s pop queen Cally Rhodes owned her moment on the Ludlow Castle stage – just before Olly Murs brought the house down.

• Announcing the line-up of our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing supported acts on stage at this year's Lakefest in Herefordshire.
