Jack Of All are an acoustic/rock duo that formed in June 2014, consisting of Laurence Aldridge and Anna Clifton.

Their material ranges from songs rooted in political consciousness to the deeply personal.

They're influenced by acts such as New Model Army, The Specials, The Levellers and Duke Special.

Away from the live circuit, Laurence can be found treading the boards of theatre while Anna is a goldsmith.

International success

International success

An industrial dance act from Ombersley, near Worcester, have had to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime to headline a massive festival stage in America - because they're already playing a major gig in Germany.

V2A - who've had top ten albums across the continent - are still relatively unknown in the UK, but regularly perform in front of thousands after their music was voted The Best In Europe four years ago.

But all is not lost - the Mad Max Wasteland Weekend organisers have told them they can headline the four-day post-apocalyptic festival next year instead, in the Southern Californian desert.

Check out V2A's BBC Introducing session...

John Bonham

John Bonham

The sister of Redditch drummer John Bonham says her brother would have been grateful for a memorial being planned in his name this weekend.

A series of tributes will be taking place in the town, to mark the 35th anniversary of the Led Zeppelin drummer's death.

Deborah Bonham told us there was more to John than the "hell-raiser" image he had in the press.

The BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester Big Top at Lakefest

The BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester Big Top at Lakefest
This month's sessions were recorded in the BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester tent at LakeFest near Evesham.

The event, at Croft Farm Waterpark in Bredons Hardwick, has grown from a cider festival four years ago, into a full-scale festival that welcomed around 6,000 people this summer.

Headliners included Goldie Lookin Chain, Ash and The Cheeky Girls - and next year it's relocating to the site of the former Big Chill at Eastnor Deer Park.

Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding

Kington's Ellie Goulding has launched her brand new single - teasing ahead to the forthcoming album.

In an interview with BBC Radio 1, she says it's taken nearly two years to produce.

She also talked about getting mixed up in the James Bond soundtrack hype, her favourite song right now and how she met her boyfriend.

BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester at the Bewdley Festival

BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester at the Bewdley Festival
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.

On Sunday 11 October, we'll be rolling up to the Mercure Hotel to record several 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! 

Doors open at 2pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up anytime until 6pm.
