In session
Grafton Ash started off as an acoustic duo playing gigs in and around their hometown of Bromsgrove.
They've now grown into a four-piece, influenced by acts such as Simon & Garfunkel, Zac Brown Band, John Mayer and Kodaline.
“They been our BBC Introducing Track of the Week several times already - and when you hear their impeccable songwriting and tight performance skills, it’s obvious why" - Andrew Marston.

BBC Introducing at Reading + Leeds
It's the world's oldest pop music festival, began in 1955, and now attracts just shy of 100,000 people.
Reading + Leeds took place last weekend and, once again, we hosted some of Britain's biggest up-and-coming acts on the BBC Introducing stage.
Yasser, from the BBC Asian Network, was one of the people who helped choose the final line-up for the stage and was hosting some of the acts, too. Find out what he's looking for when it comes to presenting a radio show.

Dodgy album
They had nine top 40 hits in just five years, before calling it a day after playing the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival.
But yesterday, Dodgy released the latest album on their comeback tour called What Are We Fighting For.
The band has always remained true to Worcestershire, having formed in Bromsgrove and Redditch; the members now practise in Pershore and record in Malvern, where their record label also began.
This week, we hear some of those new tracks as they perform exclusively for the BBC.

BBC Introducing at Nozstock: The Hidden Valley
It's been described as the Midlands' version of Glastonbury and "the best festival of its size in the UK" - Nozstock takes place on a farm near Bromyard.
5,000 people turn up, every year, for three days of music, comedy and theatre, which started off as a family barbecue back in 1998.

Reviewed: The Pershore Jazz Festival
Pershore Jazz has grown from small beginnings to becoming a well-respected part of the British jazz scene.
While their regular jazz club tends to be more traditional, the festival provides scope for a much wider range of jazz appreciation and they feel that following only one particular style means missing a lot of 'good' music.
Nowadays, it attracts audiences from far and wide - including Nava Pasternak, a radio producer from Tel Aviv, who's been telling John Hellings there's nothing like this anywhere in Israel.

BBC Introducing at the Worcester Music 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 area.
Our next recording session takes place at the Worcester Arts Workshop, as part of this year's Worcester Music Festival, on Sunday 18 September 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.
It's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!
Doors open at 6pm, but you're more than welcome to turn up any time until 10pm.
