Hear Stoke's 20-piece nu-marching band in full flow at the legendary ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Maida Vale Studios. Plus Big Image play the newly re-opened Kidderminster Town Hall. With Andrew Marston.

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

• We're in Telford as Sam Ryder brings Eurovision magic to Spinning Around Records, chatting to fans and performing an intimate set from his new album.

• From Bromsgrove School to worldwide fame, including Live Aid, Dire Straits founding member John Illsley has sold more than 120 million albums and shares his advice for emerging musicians ahead of his show at Huntingdon Hall on Tuesday.

• Touring internationally at 12, performing in New Orleans at 13, co-writing three #1 albums - we hear the remarkable story of Shrewsbury's Becki Biggins, whose career spans global tours, multiple awards and a life with James Bond’s stunt double.

• From The Rolling Stones to U2, Kidderminster Town Hall has hosted music legends - join us as Big Image, our Featured Artist on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing, kick off its £13.5m revival.

• Experimental producer Inwards, from Pershore, joins us to talk about the album Zoomies - a heartfelt project inspired by his late golden retriever, Kira.

• We're with Staffordshire’s Tony Christie ahead of his show at the New Vic next Friday, as he reflects on his dementia diagnosis at 82 and how music keeps him going.

• In our Music News: Another big act joins next summer’s live gigs at Ludlow Castle, a band famed for singing about pizza are switching on Hereford's Christmas Lights and Cheshire remembers Liam Payne - one year on.

• From hands-on workshops to open mic sessions, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing Live is in full swing this month, and we’ve taken things up a notch by bringing KiLNE, a 20-piece nu-marching band from Stoke, into the legendary ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Maida Vale Studios to perform a drum & bass set like you've never heard before!
