A live set from the White Isle, courtesy of Kidderminster's rising star of dance music. Plus the Telford performer rapping his way up the Wrekin. With Andrew Marston.

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

• Catching up with the Telford rapper who's taking his music to new heights - quite literally. We speak to Trademark Blud about the Wrekin challenge, carrying a 20kg PA uphill while rapping, and the inspiring reason behind every step.

• From ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing discoveries to national headliners, Sonic Boom Festival was a real highlight for Burton-upon-Trent. We were there to see how this grassroots celebration is already making a difference for emerging artists, local audiences and the town’s future.

• In our Festival Guide: Details of this weekend's Heal Festival in Shrewsbury, next weekend's Kidderminster Music Festival and looking ahead to Shrewsbury's Oktoberfest, The Bewdley Festival and the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.

• We’re in Wellington, visiting a local record shop that’s been named one of the UK’s top five independent stores in just two years, discovering their role in giving new artists a chance to press vinyl and record at Abbey Road Studios.

• We speak to the team behind Fenton Folk Day about bringing music, dance and storytelling to Stoke-on-Trent's centenary celebrations.

• In our Music News: Sophie Ellis Bextor visits Nantwich, The Human League are heading to Ludlow and a Malvern band hit the Official Charts.

• From Kington to Radio 1 plays - Eddy’s back with new tracks, fresh from our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing stage at the Royal Three Counties Show.
