• Thousands packed Market Place for Lemmy’s statue and the excitement hasn’t stopped. Find out how a new shop, recording studio and 900-seat venue could change Burslem forever.

• In our Musicians’ Masterclass: The writers behind the biggest anthems for Jess Glynne, Jax Jones, RAYE, Nathan Dawe and Sam Feldt reveal the art of writing a hit.

• From The Move to ELO and Black Sabbath, Bev Bevan joins Worcestershire band Quill ahead of their Staffordshire show to talk decades of music, marriage and touring magic.

• In the Music News: The team at Herefordshire's Lakefest are going One Step Beyond, The Proclaimers will be walking 500 miles to Upton, and the Vengabus stops at DevaFest.

• Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody, musicians from across our area join forces in a collaborative tribute to the Queen classic that was born on the Herefordshire border.
