Andrew Marston introduces Poppy WS (Worcester)

Poppy WS is originally from Brighton, but has lived all over - Leeds, Manchester and here in Worcester.

A few years ago, she decided to quit the day job and took up busking; you may have seen the video of her performing alongside Seal, last year! That chance meeting inspired her to compile all of the songs she's written and record them for a debut album.

"Beautifully intricate music, mixing mellow acoustic vibes with a reggae-twist that just sparkles." - Andrew Marston.

A Hereford singer/songwriter - known for playing two guitars on stage - is about to release his third official album.

Bren Haze, who's been our BBC Introducing Track Of The Week, played the BBC Stage at LakeFest 2015 and Chris Evans' CarFest, spent just under three years living in Austria but returned back to the UK after a failed relationship.

He's also lived and worked in France, Germany, Chicago and Miami.

But a new found love has inspired some brand new songs - enough for an album!

• Check out his BBC Introducing session

A Bromsgrove duo has been featured on various local radio stations across the Midlands after sending their music into BBC Introducing.

Before She Calls, which features Matt Owen, a music blogger, and Harry Hudson, who's in the army, have recently released 0SEVEN9, their debut EP.

Influenced by Drake, The Weeknd, Michael Bublé and Wretch 32, they say: "We're trying to create our own unique style and sound within RnB and modern music."

Andrew Marston describes them as "RnB and soul delivered with a slick live show that is of top drawer quality."

• Check out their BBC Introducing session at Lakefest

This month's sessions were recorded at the Railway in Redditch, which has become one of the main go-to venues for live music in the area.

Every month, we pitch up to one of our leading local venues at towns and cities across the region to reflect what's hot on the local scene.

This month, you can hear performances from Insomniacs (6th), Poppy WS (13th), Hide Your Eyes (20th) and Lost Tiger To The Wild (27th).

Sam Ostler is a singer/songwriter from Redditch who's had his tracks featured on all 39 local radio stations across Britain.

He's influenced by artists such as The Beatles, Elton John, U2, Keane, The Killers, Madness, ELO, Kenny Rogers & Coldplay.

"A pin-drop performance from one of our most promising artists, who's turning a lot of heads nationally among key music figures." - Andrew Marston

• The interviews you may have missed on the radio

It's a pick 'n' mix shop that straddles the Herefordshire-Wales border and swells the population of Hay-on-Wye early each summer.

We'll be in the BBC Tent at the Hay Festival, this year, showing what BBC Introducing is all about during the 11 days of famous scientists, authors and entertainers.

Hand-picked Herefordshire & Worcestershire artists, from the BBC Introducing Uploader, will be showcased in two separate sessions and their performances recorded for broadcast.

Other musical acts on the lineup include Will Young, Brian May and Amy MacDonald, but elsewhere at the event you can expect appearances from Eddie Izzard, Sir Ken Dodd, Stephen Fry, Graham Norton and chess champion Garry Kasparov.
