Secret City Souls in session

WARNING: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Step inside Rockfield Studios on the Herefordshire border, where Oasis’s Wonderwall was recorded at 2am and history was made in a converted stable!

• From grassroots to greatness - the Alsager Music Festival brought 5,000 people together to celebrate all things local music!

• Discover why supporting your local music scene and staying consistently visible matters just as much as releasing great tracks, as key figures from BBC Introducing and BBC 1Xtra share practical insights in this week's Musicians' Masterclass.

• It’s been a quarter of a century since Shropshire topped the charts - Shrewsbury dance producer Lange reflects on his top 10 hit Drifting Away and shares his advice on how local artists could follow suit.

• From Hereford to the world stage: The Pretenders, with drummer Martin Chambers, reflect on their iconic Live Aid performance in Philadelphia — one of history’s biggest concerts, watched by over a billion people, 40 years ago this week.

• In your music news: A Kidderminster musician producer - who we've supported since the very start - is celebrating after topping the Official Charts.

• What do Carl Cox, Pete Tong and Annie Mac all have in common? They’ve championed the work of Shropshire-based DJ and producer Sonny Wharton - a homegrown artist whose career now spans festivals, airwaves and dancefloors worldwide.
