“Atmospheric, curious and spine-tingling melodies that leave you wanting more" - Andrew Marston.

All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005

The lineup has been announced for the BBC Introducing stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival and it features a Leominster musician.

AKA George first sent his music into BBC Hereford & Worcester five years ago and since then has had regular airplay on the station, as well as national opportunities with Radio 1 and Radio 2.

George writes and produces all of his own material, playing most of the instruments himself - and his videos on YouTube are of epic proportion.

"Since discovering George, from an early age, he's never failed to be at the cutting edge of the latest sounds and the latest technology.

"This genre-defying artist can simply be described as a true craftsman of his work.

"His music videos are equally epic; his cover of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' was released BEFORE the official single, resulting in George getting 6 million views in a week.

"You know you're onto a winner when there are Japanese schoolgirls doing YouTube covers of you doing a cover!

"A true gentleman and a remarkable performer" - Andrew Marston.

Set beneath the rolling beauty of the Prestbury Hills, this year's Wychwood Festival welcomed the likes of The Waterboys, 10cc, Bill Bailey, Idlewild and Ms Dynamite.

As always, BBC Hereford & Worcester took over one of the main stages on the Sunday where we chose all the artists!

Check out our festival guide

A 12 hour celebration of the 1970's rock band Mott The Hoople is taking place today, with performances by members of the group and conversations with the original road crew.

The convention will culminate in a performance by tribute band Wott The Hoople and will showcase various local musicians.

Set in The Richmond Club, the event is in aid of the Alzheimer's Society in memory of Dale Griffin (Buffin) - the original drummer who died earlier this year.

The history of Mott

This month's sessions were recorded at the Hay Festival.

The event, which is now in its 29th year, is such a success - there are now Hay Festivals taking place all over the world.

This year, other musicians included KT Tunstall, Suzanne Vega and Sir Tom Jones.

In the news: The Pink Floyd musician donating £20k to the Air Ambulance.
In the gig guide: It's festival clash again with tonnes of events in one weekend.

What an incredible career it's been for Ellie Goulding - and to think it all began here in Kington!

Back then she was performing at the open mic nights at Doodies on St Owen's Street in Hereford, which is no longer there, and having some of those early CDs played on BBC Hereford & Worcester.

Fast forward a decade - and she's now a household name across the globe, with many of her lesser heard singles in Britain flying high in the US Billboard charts.

The BBC have just welcomed her back on stage, putting her on at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Exeter.

The second BBC Music Day has taken place across the country.

As part of the celebrations, unique musical collaborations took place on more than forty bridges.

This week, we hear live music from Malvern musician Connie Gordon.

BBC Introducing at the Nozstock 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.

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 24 July where we'll be rolling up to the Nozstock Festival 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 from 12pm.
