We bring the gig to you this evening with an exclusive session from Hereford's finest reggae-fusion collective Last Tree Squad as recorded at the Victory in Hereford.

The 8-piece band play hip hop influenced dub and lyrically they hone in on issues around us that aren't always that easy to talk about.

“Deep reggae vibes soaked in awesomeness, with slick raps and sick beats” - Andrew Marston, BBC Introducing

All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005

Let's head to Bewdley and to the town's newest music landmark - Load Street Studios is a collaboration between two local musicians - James Dellin and Steve Carrigan.

James studied audio production under the tuition of Kylie Minogue's and Madonna's producer, Greg Fitzgerald, and Steve's talents have seen him perform around the country, including concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and live performances for the BBC.

Danni Hunt went down to Load Street to take the tour.

Listen to some of our favourite interviews

This week, Andy O'Hare reviews:

Shrinking Violets, Institutes & Some Skeletons at The Firefly, Worcester.
Connor Maher, Haunted Souls & The House Band ft Brian Marr at The Marr's Bar, Worcester.
The Stiff Joints & Citizen Fish at The Boar's Head, Kidderminster.

This month's sessions were recorded at the atmospheric Victory in Hereford.

The pub, opposite the fire station, recreates the interior of Lord Nelson's flagship and has a galleon-looking oak bar complete with cannons and tonnes of ship paraphernalia.

The performance area is a double floor that takes you back to the battle of Trafalgar with galleys, ropes and rigging - all that's missing is the smell of gunpowder!

The landlord, Jim Kenyon, has also decorated the outside wall of the pub with a WW2 mural dedicated to Help For Heroes.

All this week here on BBC Hereford & Worcester we're collecting your musical memorabilia - and sharing your stories of big gigs and musical legends.

Tonight we hear the story about the time Eric Clapton lost a bet and ended up having to play at a village wedding at The Crown in Martley.

BBC Hereford & Worcester's Dave Bradley happened to be one of the guests - and recalls Clapton forgetting the words to Layla!

A local history of great gigs and musical legends

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 28 February, we'll be rolling up to Worley's Strings & Things at The Swan Hotel on Stourport's High Street 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 any time until 6pm.
