Andrew Marston with coverage of Glastonbeoley

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

• Heading off to the charity-run Glastonbeoley - which is no longer in Beoley - after they moved for social distancing purposes!

• Hearing from the Malvern musician, who describes the atmosphere, as she returns to the music pit of London's West End for The Lion King.

• He’s been a Record Plugger, Label Manager, Head of A&R, Songwriter, Producer, Recording Artist and a BBC Radio 1 session producer - we meet the man who went to school in Bromsgrove and then introduced us to records by The Housemartins, The Proclaimers, Robert Plant, Simple Minds and Debbie Harry.

• John Hellings is in conversation with the jazz vocalist who was the voice of so many adverts - and broke America too.

• In our Chart Blog, the Alvechurch musician who's hit #2 on the Official Folk Albums Chart.

• The lost score, championed by Sir Edward Elgar, brought back to life for this year's Three Choirs Festival.

• Catching up with the Worcestershire choir leader who, last year, was forced to retrain as a painter and decorator after singing en masse was banned.

• In our Studio Blog, we get an update from the Bewdley man building a music studio on wheels for local schools.
