Andrew Marston is live from Eastnor Castle Deer Park in Herefordshire, we have coverage of Farmer Phil's in Shropshire, and a live session from a Burton band at Ludlow Castle.

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

• The hills are alive with the sound of Lakefest! We’re live from Eastnor Castle Deer Park, where Faithless, Busted, Groove Armada, Pixie Lott and Echo & The Bunnymen are topping the bill, while our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing takeover showcases our future festival headliners.

• Reporting in from the Shropshire hills near Church Stretton, we’re at Farmer Phil’s – celebrating a stellar lineup featuring Dreadzone, The Animals and Dr & The Medics, alongside some of the most exciting acts in the county.

• A dive deep into the unforgettable Castlemorton rave. This weekend, we revisit the peaceful Malvern community where a powerful new play tells how one week-long party changed UK music and culture forever.

• We were there in Stoke-on-Trent, bringing you the action live from the 'Lemmy Encore' tribute weekend - a powerful celebration marking 50 years of Motörhead and a decade since the legendary frontman’s passing.

• In our Music News: Details about this year's Bloodstock, the new anthem penned for Shrewsbury Town FC, and The Sugarmill hosts a moving night of music in memory 28-year-old Jack Crawford - whose cousin is headlining the gig.

• Meeting some of our Featured Artists from over these last few weeks - including Telford's Josh Vine who takes brewing up a banger to a whole new dimension.

• Also hearing from Worcester's Joseph Morris whose music has taken him all over the world.

• For fans of Tears for Fears, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen - Shrewsbury and Telford's Triers who seem to be on a never ending tour!

• ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing proudly presents Burton-upon-Trent’s Deco, chosen to warm up for Olly Murs at Ludlow Castle. From opening Derby’s new arena to sharing festival stages with Pet Shop Boys, McFly, Bryan Adams, Nile Rodgers, and rocking Kendal Calling, their ‘80s-inspired synth-pop sound has even been in the charts. Catch their full session and interview this week.
