Nature of Wires is IT consultant Gary Watts and armourer Andrew Stirling-Brown, both from Hereford, while Maren Northway is a former opera singer from Fullerton, California, with one of the most distinctive voices in the business.

For the past year, or so, they've been writing music together over the internet!

The band actually dates back to the '80s with dark new wave sounds reminiscent of acts such as Gary Numan, Pet Shop Boys, Shamen, Cyferdyne, Combichrist, Aesthetic Perfection and Kraftwerk.

However, they've spent this last decade playing in rock bands!

"Think Pet Shop Boys meets Depeche Mode. A quality show, reminiscent of '80s synth-pop." - Andrew Marston

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

Members of the Herefordshire band Mott The Hoople have expressed sadness at the death of band mate Dale Griffin.

Dale, also known as 'Buffin', received an Alzheimer's diagnosis 9 years ago and passed away on Sunday night aged 67.

It comes just a week after the death of David Bowie, who also worked with the band.

A local history of great gigs and musical legends...

This month's sessions were recorded at Steps Bar in Redditch.

The venue, at Headless Cross, has become a hub for live music in recent months, featuring open mic nights on Wednesdays, karaoke on Thursdays, soul and Motown on Fridays and different events each Saturday.

In the news: As our fields drain of water, the festival line-ups around here are filling up nicely with news of Wychwood Festival's newest headliner.
In the gig guide: What's on in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

What do U2, The Simple Minds, Tom Jones and The Rolling Stones have in common?

They were all musicians booked by this man - John Coombe, who put on some of the biggest gigs ever seen at Kidderminster Town Hall.

On Sunday 7 February from 3pm, we're bringing you the People's History Of Pop - documenting the rise of some of the biggest names in music, told by the people who went to watch.

Listen to some of our favourite interviews...

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 31 January, we'll be rolling up to The Victory in Hereford 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 4pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up any time until 8pm.
