Plymouth Brethren is the brainchild of Bewdley musician James Delin.

His band members are scattered all over Britain because he's only recently moved into the area, although he does call upon a variety of additional musicians depending where in the country he's playing.

Since the launch of their debut single in February, Plymouth Brethren have been performing guerrilla style gigs across the country - starting in Kent, moving through the Midlands and all the way up to Edinburgh.

James also runs Angel Recordings - a record label that's busy putting on gigs in a number of venues, including Kidderminster Town Hall.

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

Worcester Music Festival - on BBC Radio 1

All of this week on BBC Radio 1, the focus has been on music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire - as chosen by Andrew Marston and his special guests.

We're bringing you some of those extended interviews - so if you're new to new music in the area, trust us to bring you the best new music from across the region.

Our first guests are Nikki Boriston and Ant Robbins from the Worcester Music Festival.

More interviews...

Babajack are a band that is fast becoming one of the most sought after acts on the UK and European gig and festival circuits.

Their unique blend of roots/blues/folk fusion, described by Classic Rock magazine as "a scintillating show combining great musicianship, passion and energy that is guaranteed to wow any audience".

Well, last month the Malvern group performed their biggest gig to date - at London's Royal Albert Hall in a special gig for BBC Radio 2.

Trevor Steger and Becky Tate are the songwriting core of BabaJack; Trevor plays dobro slide, acoustic and 'winebox' guitars as well as harmonica; Becky plays African drum, stomp and vocals.

They are joined by Tosh Murase on drums and Adam Bertenshaw on bass, while Julia Palmer-Price features on the Running Man album playing cello.

Like the early blues players who made their instruments out of cigar boxes and old oil cans, Trevor has made two guitars out of old wine boxes.

He combined his skills as a woodworker and a musician to make these beautiful instruments which have their own, very distinctive growl and tone.

Find out about our local music history...

KJM Studios is a professional recording and production facility based in the heart of Hereford.

It features a full production facility with separate drum and vocal recording rooms.

As well as the studio, they also have rehearsal spaces, offer lessons and do on-site repairs.

When invited to go along and do an interview about music - we thought it was a bad idea.

So we're bringing actual music from there instead!

BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians from Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our two counties.

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 30 November at Death Or Glory Records in Redditch and features four acts who we've been playing on BBC Hereford & Worcester recently.

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.

It's free to get in - and the session takes place between 2pm and 6pm.
