Andrew Marston introduces Spirals (Leominster)

Spirals is the brainchild of Leominster singer/songwriter John Aziz.

However, for the last few years, he's been suffering from a form of ME therefore hasn't been able to perform on the gig circuit for the past five years.

But hIs love of playing guitar, piano, drums and bass has helped him through, so we welcome him back to the live scene!

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

When we received the following email from fitness trainer Alex Joseph, we just had to go and meet him:

"I recently spent several months working with the GB women's basketball squad based out of Worcester University.

"The head coach and players really inspired me to build on their team slogan 'GB365' as they commit to their goal of medalling at the Paralympic Games in 2016, so I wrote them a track and performed an acoustic version to them before the world champs this year.

"They really embraced it and are fully behind being part of a song that looks to inspire people to maximise their potential and embrace Paralympic sport."

Well, Alex has now been asked to perform his biggest gig to date - on stage at the 02 Arena in London!

More interviews...

BBC Introducing supports the very best unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians.

Every month, we take the show on the road to showcase some of the very best acts from our area. 

On Sunday 1 February, we'll be rolling up to The Marr's Bar in Worcester to record four acts who we've been playing on BBC Hereford & Worcester recently.

We'll bring the bands - all we need now - is the fans! 

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

So if you'd like to Be Part Of It then simply turn up on the day - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!

Acts confirmed include Hussc, Quarter Stone, Das Sexy Clap and Puma Creek.

The first act is on at 7pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up any time until 10pm.
