In Session

In Session
This month's live sessions were produced in the beautiful riverside town of Bewdley, at the Cock & Magpie, on the banks of the Severn.

The venue hosts a number of regular open mic nights in their upstairs bar - so it was a natural choice for us to take the Introducing show there.


Paper Dreams are a Hereford group made up of Catherine, Owen, Chris and Jordan.Ìý

Ìý

They're four best mates, who met through their ability to play a multiple of instruments.

Ìý

They're now in an acoustic band which consists of guitar, ukulele, melodica, cajon, bango and much more.

Meet The Musicians

Meet The Musicians
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing in Hereford & Worcester supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians from our area.

Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our two counties.

Once a month, we've been recording acts chosen by us at a variety of venues across the area - including at some of our biggest festivals.

Our next recording session takes place on Friday 31 May at the Wychwood Festival on Cheltenham Racecourse on our very own stage and features the five acts we plan to broadcast throughout June.

Acts we've chosen to appear at the festival are Worcester's Becky Rose, This Wicked Tongue, The Delray Rockets, Leominster's George Barnett, Malvern's Dogs Of Santorini, Hereford's Jimmy Heartbreak and Brassick, who are from both counties.

None of these acts knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded here - which led them to receiving airplay on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester.

Meanwhile, if you're a venue or promoter, and would like to be featured in a future recording session pleaseÌýget in touch.

Who would have thought that little old Kington, Malvern and Droitwich would have such international clout.

Ìý

Well - we did, of course!
