Andrew Marston introduces the Worcestershire artist to perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

• The moment we surprised Redditch musician Bekah with the news that we've chosen her to perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend of Live Music.

• Catching up with our local nightclubs and festival organisers on their reaction to last weekend's pilot events headlined by Fatboy Slim, Blossoms and CamelPhat.

• Looking ahead to next weekend's DrumathonLIVE, taking place in Redditch, featuring members of Coldplay, Kasabian and Simple Minds.

• Our studio blog takes us to AR Studios in Herefordshire, where they've been recording the soundtrack to a horror film.

• Location, language, race, gender, age, disabilities - in our Musicians' Masterclass we're asking just how well are we representing diversity in the music industry?

• In our collaborator generator, find out how Hereford's Yellow Belly got on with Leominster musician Yuulsea. Well, you'll see after 9!
