Highlights: Big Love Festival
This independent, DIY festival is hosted by some of the best party promoters from Bristol and Cardiff, meaning the festival is "not to be missed".
Live coverage: HopFest
We will be there (tomorrow) hosting a stage dedicated to Herefordshire and Worcestershire artists chosen from the .
Each will record a live session for broadcast on the programme.
Ellie Goulding at Radio 1's Big Weekend
And she's Herefordshire's most successful-ever export - having achieved more top 40 records than the Pretenders and Mott The Hoople put together.
Throughout June, we're hearing tracks from her performance at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesbrough.
Mello Festival highlights: Stereo MC's
Since then, they've supported groups such as De La Soul, EMF and U2 - and did US and UK tours with The Happy Mondays.
After early chart success in America for their second LP 'Supernatural', they recorded the album 'Connected' which became an international hit.
They were one of the acts performing at the Mello Festival in Hanley Castle recently, where we got their top tips for new musicians.
ѿý Music Introducing at Wychwood
Since 2010, ѿý 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.
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’d decide the final 28.
Over the years, we’ve become the last ones standing – being able to choose our prime acts to take to centre stage at this prestigious event.
We’ll be hearing highlights from our ѿý Music Introducing stage takeover over these next couple of weeks.
Features
- In the Music News: Busted join the line-up at the Upton Festival.

Session tracks: Arcadia Roots
Influenced by artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Dave Small, Maddy Abbots, Josh Terry, Danny Gauden and Tom Callinswood have recently attracted the attention of Michael Eavis, of Glastonbury fame, who joined them on stage and announced: “What a great band they are”.
Musicians' Masterclass
Our panel, this week, consists of Emma Smith - one of the presenters of ѿý Radio 3's Jazz Now. But, as well as that, she's also a singer, a composer and regularly works alongside the Ronnie Scott’s Allstars, Seal, Michael Buble and Goldie.
She's joined by performer Tom McCredie and pianist/composer Nikki Yeoh.
