Andrew Marston introduces Chase The Deer (Worcester)

Chase The Deer are a group of five friends who met at Pershore Sixth Form College in May 2014, who began as a covers band.

Originally, they were performing tracks by bands such as Bombay Bicycle Club, Young The Giant and Two Door Cinema Club, but quickly kicked out those familiar songs to play their own material!

The group has been working with MAS Records in Kidderminster and record their songs at Tower Studios in Pershore.

Oh, and they're named after a quesadilla!

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

Hereford's country music star Sasha McVeigh has been at the Hay Festival, performing sell out shows and making two appearances on national radio.

Sasha, who we discovered through BBC Introducing, performed some live acoustic tracks across all 40 local radio stations courtesy of the Mark Forrest show and appeared on Radio 3's The Verb, chatting with Ian McMillan and Stephen Fry.
