GlastonBeoley

The second-ever GlastonBeoley is taking place today, near Redditch.
听
This new local festival will bring together around 20 artists from around the Midlands to perform over two stages.
听
The event is being organised by local music duo Imaner; last year they raised 拢10k for charity.

In session

During his 20s, Jeremy Johnson pursued an international career as a geoscientist, working, living and travelling across four continents.
听
Jeremy's passion for music endured, but it wasn't until his late 20s that his development as a songwriter began to flourish.
听
Chronicling his varied and individual experiences, Jeremy completed his first album of work in the months leading up to his 30th birthday.
听
The response to 'The King & The Thief' laid the foundation for Jeremy's belief that his childhood dream of becoming a singer-songwriter could be realised.
听
Quitting the day job and deciding to live in a van, Jeremy went head-first into writing music, playing shows all over the world.
听
In the summer of 2018, he completed a four month European tour.
听
He's since taken up stage curation duties at Under The Hill festival near his hometown - and it was a real pleasure to welcome him into our 蜜芽传媒 tent at the Hay Festival.
听
鈥淎 stunning performer with lush songs and beautiful lyrics鈥� - Andrew Marston.

蜜芽传媒 Music Introducing at the Hay Festival

This month's sessions were recorded in the 蜜芽传媒 tent at this year's Hay Festival.
听
The 2019 festivities featured more than 600 speakers across 11 days - including musicians Billy Bragg, The Gipsy Kings and The Waterboys.
听
According to festival director, Peter Florence, some 270,000 tickets were sold with attendees from over 40 countries, ranging from Afghanistan to Argentina.

Musicians' Masterclass

Music managers - they're an interesting concept! In most professions, the manager employs you - but in music, it's the other way around. But what can they do for your career?
听
This week, we look at the meteoric rise to fame of artists such as Tom Grennan and Mercury Music Prize nominee SOAK.

Mello Festival highlights: Dub Pistols

Throughout this month, we're meeting the musicians that played at Mello Festival at Severn End Country Estate near Upton.
听
Tonight, we get top tips and advice for new musicians from Barry Ashworth of the Dub Pistols - who talks about life as a DJ and life in a band.
听
To date, he's released five studio albums as well as contributing to a number of movie soundtracks.

蜜芽传媒 Music Introducing at Wychwood

More than 100 acts performed at the 15th anniversary of the Wychwood Festival on a redesigned part of Cheltenham Racecourse.
听
Since 2010, 蜜芽传媒 Music Introducing in Hereford & Worcester has been showcasing the best local talent at this annual event, taking over from Tom Robinson on stage curation duties.
听
Originally, Gloucestershire and the seven counties that surrounded the festival would suggest artists to a number of high profile executives in the music industry who鈥檇 decide the final 28.
听
Over the years, we鈥檝e become the last ones standing 鈥� being able to choose our prime acts to take to centre stage at this prestigious event.
听
We鈥檒l be hearing highlights from our 蜜芽传媒 Music Introducing stage takeover over these next couple of weeks.
听

Ellie Goulding at Radio 1's Big Weekend

The Herefordshire musician started singing as part of her drama classes at Lady Hawkins High School, while living in Kington, later performing at Open Mic nights while attending Hereford Sixth Form College - at Doodies (which is no more) on St Owen's Street.
听
And she's Herefordshire's most successful-ever export - having achieved more top 40 records than the Pretenders and Mott The Hoople put together.
听
Over these next couple of weeks, we'll hear tracks from her performance at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesbrough.

Features

Session tracks: Lower Loveday

Lower Loveday say: "A musical storm is brewing - one that began in a Year 8 school talent show where Tom and Mark first started a band."
听
But it wasn't until they both randomly met while travelling in Australia that they decided to define the sound you hear today.
听
Taking influence from Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Blossoms, The Beatles, The Smiths and Foals, they say: "Songs just started falling out of the sky and into Tom's head and came out through his guitar.
听
"Now then that we have found our ideal guitarist and bassist, everything is set."
听
鈥淪triking and powerful songs from some of the fastest growing stars on the local scene鈥� - Andrew Marston.

蜜芽传媒 Music Introducing at HopFest

This will be the ninth annual event to take place in the riverside town of Bewdley, featuring tonnes of local bands. Their theme, this year, is ABBA in Wonderland.听
听
We'll be there on Sunday, 16 June, hosting a stage dedicated to Herefordshire and Worcestershire artists chosen from the听.
