Andrew Marston introduces La Vivas (Kidderminster)

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

• Announcing the lineup of our next recording session, taking place at the Marr's Bar ahead of Independent Venue Week.

• She went to the same primary school as Ellie Goulding and has been inspired by some of our other famous discoveries. Our Artist of the Week is Hereford singer Lucia.

• In our Musicians' Masterclass we're asking: 'How can I help myself?" - a guide to staying positive and keeping creative.

• With the entertainment industry hit the hardest in these last couple of years, we look at how other countries are supporting their musicians during the pandemic.

• She's one of the Radio 1 Dance Future Stars for 2022, we're hearing from the Kidderminster musician Emily Nash who, last year, signed to Ministry Of Sound.

• They got together just before lockdown and instead of waiting for their first gig, they organised a festival instead! Live music from the Kidderminster band La Vivas.

• Our Collaborator Generator returns - who will we musically matchmake on this week's show?
