A cinematic tour de force of a live set from the Bromsgrove band featured on TV. Plus highlights of Staffordshire's Bloodstock and Farmer Phil's in Shropshire. With Andrew Marston.

CAUTION: This show contains your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• From ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing newcomers to chart-topping legends, Farmer Phil’s festival delivered an unforgettable weekend of music and magic in the Shropshire countryside. We'll bring you all the highlights.

• From near-death to centre stage - Stoke-on-Trent’s globe-trotting DJ and producer Ashley Wallbridge, famed for Las Vegas residencies and world tours, makes an emotional return to the decks after three years away.

• From Bloodstock, we’re bringing you the sights and sounds of the festival, from Ozzy tributes to Lemmy’s ashes, merch stalls, and thousands of devoted metalheads.

• This week’s Festival Guide includes the Pina Colada Festival in Northwich, the Old Bush Blues Festival near Malvern, the Upton Sunshine Festival, Creamfields North in Cheshire, Beermageddon in Bromsgrove, the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Bridgnorth Music & Arts Festival, Y Fest in Ross-on-Wye, and WychFest in Droitwich.

• From loyal customer to proud owner - we visit Mick Bishop who bought Worcester’s Market Hall Records and now plans to rock its future!

• In our Music News: The festival, in Shropshire, officially "safe" for another year – having only been left with two people to keep it running.

• It's the first in the series from our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing stage at Lakefest in Herefordshire. This week's live session comes from Little Juke - a rising indie collective from Bromsgrove and Redditch, blending cinematic soundscapes with raw energy.
