Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Phillip Stoneman introduces the best new music from our area, including: • Big hair, big songs, even bigger stages. Meet the Bridgnorth act balancing her own polished productions with writing for and performing with giants of dance music. • Our Story Behind The Song feature takes us to Redditch, with the musician who's turned something utterly gut-wrenching into a moment of comfort, healing and hope. • In the Festival Guide: Shrewsbury's Djangofest, The Bewdley Festival and the Hay Winter Weekend. • In the Music News: Richard Ashcroft and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell are confirmed for huge events in our area. Plus how Redditch-born, Holmes Chapel-raised Harry Styles has been caught in disguise. • He's turned Hartlebury Common in to Bondi Beach, turned a town centre in to a zombie apocalypse, now he's turned himself in to Kidderminster's kingpin of claymation. Nick J Townsend shares the art of taking visuals to a whole new level. • It's the Shrewsbury venue which has supported over 50,000 young people in two decades of championing the arts, but was worried the doors might close for good. Discover why The Hive is celebrating a massive chunk of funding. • Concluding our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Make A Difference Awards coverage, meet the musicians who soundtracked our glitzy nights to remember, including Samantha Lloyd, the Potteries artist performing at inside the grandstands of Stoke City FC's stadium. • Checking in with the Shropshire singer-songwriter celebrating not just because he's released his debut album this year, not just because he's on his honeymoon in Japan - but because he's this week's featured artist! For fans of Lorde, Billie Eilish and James Blake, get to know Shrewsbury's Joseph Bell. • Live music from an artist who joined us at Stoke-on-Trent's £1.5m Boothen Quarter and their massive stage. Bradeley's Darla Jade brings her stunning world-conquering electro-pop to the airwaves, having collaborated with everyone from Nicky Romero to Ashnikko and Dizzee Rascal.
