Molly Gone Mad in session

Caution: This show may contain future stars! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• We’re remembering Mike Lloyd, the man who helped Stoke find its voice. From Beatles nights to making a difference for those who were just starting out, we look back at the legacy from those who knew him best.

• In your music news: Stoke's Robbie Williams heads to Sunny Spain, Herefordshire's Ellie Goulding surprises a life-long fan and folk Singer John Kirkpatrick has brought the residents of Bishop's Castle together for a festive function.

• We’re diving into the soundtrack that made Shrewsbury’s Christmas Carol shine as Nick Bicat shares the craft behind a score loved across generations.

• We’re catching up with Stourport’s own Guinness World Record holder Kideva as he reshapes The Power of Love to back the work of Dementia UK.

• Taking you across to our BBC Introducing stage at this year's Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre with a Malvern band who lit up Glastonbury earlier this year with their funk-soul flair: Molly Gone Mad.
