Ledbury’s Appleby Kinsey’s eclectic repertoire ranges from traditional songs to modern-day pop, via timeless jazz standards and Latin-flavoured tunes.

A distinctive and natural acoustic sound is central to their music.

Ken Appleby and Catherine Kinsey met via the internet in 2010 - and have been growing the band ever since.

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

20 - 22 June: The Linton Festival nr Ross-on-Wye

The Linton Festival in Herefordshire has raised over £80,000 for local charities since it started.

The event started in 2001 when some of the regulars of The Alma Inn realised it would be cheaper to get The Producers to come to Linton, rather than hire a mini bus and drive all the way to Poole in Dorset.

Then they decided rather than having one band - they'd have loads!

This year's line-up includes Walter Trout, Vintage Trouble and Geno Washington.

This week, Andy O'Hare reviews:

The Barflys at The Great Malvern Hotel.
Will Killeen at the Black Lion, Hereford.
Mike Mann & Tina V, Son Of John, Rob Mills & Chris Lee, Polly & Sam, Mark Leedham & Ebony Clay at The Firefly, Worcester.

In this week's papers: It's been officially revealed that one of our local artists has sold more albums than anybody else in Britain, so far, in 2014.
In the gig guide: Ms Dynamite and Hazel O'Connor are coming to Herefordshire.

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...

It formed in 1904, in a Worcestershire town, and 110 years later it's still going.

The Kidderminster Male Choir is one of Britain's oldest - and is celebrating it's anniversary this year.

But despite surviving two world wars - without younger members - it's future remains uncertain.

So we've been to pay them a visit!
