Andrew Marston with an update on our summer festivals

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

• Hearing from the organisers of Camp Bestival in the West Midlands who've revealed a stellar lineup, this week, including Fatboy Slim, Rag’n’Bone Man and Becky Hill.

• Upton Folk Festival is on! We'll be hearing how the whole town is getting involved.

• It's the festival that sees a brand new village emerge, each year, from the Herefordshire hills. We're talking to the organisers of the Bromyard Folk Festival.

• In our Music News: Herefordshire achieves another UK #1 as former art student Olly Alexander goes straight to the top with Years & Years.

• Meeting the Malvern man who's claimed to have created the world's first vegan violin. It's taken two months to build and costs £8,000.

• In our Musicians' Masterclass, we're meeting a variety of artists who've just landed that elusive record deal - and the work they had to do.

• Our Cover Roulette returns! Find out how Evesham's Tom Forbes got on with Stourport's Natalie Bouloudis.
