Ways Away are a five piece alternative pop/rock band fronted up by Lily Green.

The band are split between Wales and Hereford, where three of the members study at the Art College.

All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005...

It's home to the likes of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, Black Sabbath's Tony Martin and Nigel Clark from Dodgy, but Redditch has been singled out as the 'least musical' part of the country.

The town's come bottom of a survey looking at how many people are musically trained, and how many engage with music.

The planning's nearly over for our area's first festival of the season.

The Upton Folk Festival takes place at various venues across the town, including the parish church this year.

Danni Hunt caught up one of the festival organisers at our recording session at Ledbury's Market Theatre last weekend.

They've got one of the biggest stages in our area - plus a giant cinema-sized screen, making it the perfect place to showcase local musicians!

Ledbury's Market Theatre is run by a team of volunteers, and when we rolled up on Sunday 2 March for our second recording roadshow at this particular venue, Herefordshire's John Challis from Only Fools & Horses had been in the spotlight only the night before.

So throughout the whole of March and spilling into April, we're bringing you the bands and musicians that we recorded at the theatre, along with the massive gathering of festival organisers who turned up to talk about their summer events.

Meet some of our local musicians...

This week, Andy O'Hare reviews:

Redditch is the least musically sophisticated place in the UK according to a new study but one record shop in the town isn't having any of it.Read more in our news...
If you or anybody you know has glimpsed a super furry animal lurking Hereford's streets this weekend then make sure you to catch the gig guide for the explanation - and it's not escaped cattle.

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 30 March at the West Malvern Social Club and features five acts who we've been playing on BBC Hereford & Worcester recently.

It's free to get in - and this is your chance to see how we capture live music on tape, while being able to enjoy some of the hottest new acts we've got in our area right now.

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded to us.

Doors open at 2pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up anytime until 6pm.
