Upton Jazz Festival
The 33rd Upton Jazz Festival was another rip roaring success this year with thousands of people attending the riverside town in the blazing sunshine.
听
This year, the event was stripped back somewhat because of a lack of volunteers.听Instead, organisers improved the camping, offered a bigger choice of stalls, food and drink.
听
One of the most talked about venues was under the river bridge, which was transformed into a gig venue for the weekend.
Upton Ukulele Festival
听
Organisers fell in love with the festival site - and despite there only being hundreds attending their inaugural year in Upton - they're expecting thousands to now descend on the riverside town having discovered its beauty.
听
Features
- In the gig guide:听The ultimate festival clash - details of El Dorado, Tenbury, Linton, Cookley and WestFest.

Musicians' Masterclass
听
Held across three days, Amplify offered exclusive access to the UK music industry鈥檚 biggest names through intimate talks, music masterclasses and recording workshops.
听
This week, we hear top tips from Britain's best-selling jazz artist of all time - Jamie Cullum - who gives us a lesson on the ivories!
听
Monthly roadshows
听
Since the beginning of 2011, we've taken our 蜜芽传媒 Introducing show out on-the-road to various areas across our patch to bring people a flavour of the local music scene.
听
Every month, we rock up at a different venue with a pile of microphones, cables and recording equipment along with several vans full of enthusiastic musicians!
听
As well as the bands being able to invite an audience, we also bring along a number of music industry professionals to comment on the live acts.
听
We tend to host our sessions on evenings/weekends is because it's normally a quiet time for venues - so effectively you get a free gig curated with the best bands (from the thousands who have submitted their music to us), full tech provided, plus听听- so effectively you just need to open your doors!
