In session
听
The last couple of years has seen the band support New Model Army; have their music be played on dozens of online and FM radio stations; be featured in multiple blogs and magazines while taking the festival circuit by storm.
听
Taking influence from听The Levellers, Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell, the members of Under A Banner are scattered across the Midlands, including Worcester, and during the day work in teaching and computing.
听
鈥淔olk giants of the festival circuit with equally massive tracks that are right on the cutting edge" - Andrew Marston.
听
Ibiza DJ
听
Rinaldi Positivity, who also produces his own music, started off in heavy metal, punk and ska bands - but his real love for electronic came at the age of 14 after watching somebody on the decks.
听
He now runs his own events across Worcestershire - and speaking about his productions, he says: "I've been suffering with major depression and this tune was made to inspired those that also suffer or don't understand."
听
From Rag To Riches
听
Mitch Loveridge's debut EP '12 Years In The Making' is out in August and he hopes he may even get an iTunes advert on TV with a number of record labels chasing his signature sound.
听
Mitch had been living in the town's bandstand - but is now hoping to return to the stage having turned his life around.
听
"We're Gonna Win The World Cup"
听
But those England anthems are soooo old!
听
One musician, from Hay-on-Wye, however - aims to change all that.
听
"We're Gonna Win The World Cup," says Jakey Boy Hughes - who we've championed lots on this programme.
听
His England anthem has already amassed a huge following online after it got posted on all of the major football pages on Facebook.
听
UK Charts
听
Video streaming and downloads are now being included in a song's chart position.
听
The new rules mean watching music videos on sites like YouTube will now count towards the charts.
听
Olly Alexander, from Years & Years, says this will go a long way to reflecting a band's overall popularity.听
听
A separate tweak to the chart formula will see paid-for music streams carrying more weight than "free" ones.
听
Under the current system, every 150 streams of a song is counted as one "sale".
听
100 streams, via a subscription service, equals one sale, but it'll take 600 "free" streams to have the same impact.

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!
