Andrew Marston with highlights from Upton's Day of Jazz

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from across the region.

• "Musicians wanted to play, audiences wanted to listen, businesses in town wanted the trade and most of us needed something to cheer" - after two summer festival cancellations, we bring you highlights from yesterday's Day of Jazz in Upton.

• Known and loved for her DIY lo-fi approach, half-English half-Zambian Chikaya, who grew up in Hereford, chats about her set on our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Introducing stage at the Big Feastival - including how her music began with her recording vocals in a bedroom on an iphone with her flatmate-turned-producer.

• From the Himalayas to Herefordshire - we're meeting an international filmmaker who's been producing music videos across the city.

• An at-home session recorded by a group of musical siblings - who have found themselves inspired by one of England's songwriting greats, Stourport's Clifford T Ward, who just so happens to come from their hometown.

• In our Music News: The Ledbury singer who's appeared in Series 2 and 3 of Netflix's Sex Education.

• Looking back over an incredible 19 months with Hay-on-Wye DJ Max Galactic - who achieved global success with his kitchen discos.

• In our gig guides, we'll be looking ahead to the Bewdley Festival, The Big '90s Festival in Worcester, The Elgar Festival and the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.
