Andrew Marston introduces Abel Gray (Redditch)

Abel Gray is a rapper and musician from Redditch who mixes hip-hop with various, eclectic influences.

He says his aim is to bring together honesty, storytelling and melody in a new and interesting way, whilst throwing in intricate wordplay and original flows.

He's also working on a collaboration with local group Byron Hare.

Away from the mic, he's an avid cartoonist - designing artwork for comic books.

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

The plight of Hereford's football team has been written about in a new song.

Hereford United were liquidated in December but last week fans voted to set up a new club - Hereford FC.

Lifelong fan Ed Dallimore, who now lives in Denmark, has written the song 'Hereford FC We'll Never Die', with a little help from Danish musician Jens Ottosen.

This week, Andy O'Hare reviews...

• A Werewolf!, Calm Like A Riot & Petrol Girls at The Firefly, Worcester.
• Isolation, 3Sixty & Das Sexy Clap at The Marr's Bar, Worcester.

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.
