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

• We’re touching down in Bromsgrove as Onboard The Craft launches four days of space rock, prog, psychedelia & blues.

• We hear from Tom Hall, the Shropshire DJ who’s gone from residencies at Sin Worcester and Marilyn’s in Evesham to iconic sets at Ministry of Sound, with tracks featured on Love Island, Celebs Go Dating and TOWIE. We catch up with him in Zante, where he’s now making waves on yacht parties and in the island’s clubs.

• Our Festival Guide looks ahead to vibrant weekends in Bromyard, Worcester, Shrewsbury, Kidderminster, Bewdley and Hay-on-Wye, packed with live music, street performances and seasonal fun.

• From near death to near impossible - Hartshill’s Stephen Lee Clarke, saved by a life-changing stem cell transplant after a near-fatal cancer diagnosis, smashed a £1,000 target, raising £2,631 for Anthony Nolan with a charity album of local talent.

• Boxer, rapper and local storyteller Monroe, from Telford, is on the show, talking music, boxing and his recent performances with hip-hop icons Busta Rhymes and Redman.

• In your Music News: Historic venues are reopening, new music hubs are planned and crowdfunding is boosting the scene - but we hear how redevelopment is threatening some of our cherished places.

• "If Jarvis Cocker made emo, it’d sound like Ugly Jumper" - hear the introspective, sarcastic tales of Hereford’s rising stars, as we meet the band that'll shake up your playlist!

• From TikTok live streams to our festival stage at Eastnor Castle, this week’s live session comes from Bewdley's Star Aurora, bringing diary-like storytelling, catchy riffs and festival energy to a sun-soaked audience at Lakefest.
