In session
RIVAS came from an idea that Ross-on-Wye singer/songwriter Mike Sheppard had.
He wanted to be able to produce any kind of music he wanted without having direct affiliation with the genre he was making.
So he's recruited some musicians to perform the songs and formed the band you'll hear on this week's show.
"I just love what this guy is doing; a great sound that is so ‘now’" - Andrew Marston.

Highlights: Nozstock Festival
It was a huge weekend for music fans in our area, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with two of our biggest festivals taking place - Nozstock and Upton Blues.
Headliners at Nozstock, near Bromyard, included Seasick Steve, Happy Mondays and Hayseed Dixie.
This week we hear from Goldie Lookin Chain and Rowetta of Happy Mondays.
We were there on the Sunday hosting our very own BBC Introducing stage; highlights will be broadcast throughout August here on BBC Hereford & Worcester.

V2A return from the apocalypse
A Droitwich group, who are massive on the continent - but relatively unknown here in Worcestershire, have just returned back to the UK after headlining a Mad Max-themed festival in Poland.
V2A, who are from Ombersley, regularly tour Europe and America performing in front of thousands.
The group, who have been going since 2001, are signed to a German record label and played a similar event in the Californian Mojave Desert earlier this year.

BBC Introducing at the Tenbury Music Festival
This month's sessions were recorded at the Tenbury Music Festival.

Three Choirs Festival
Billed as 'the world's finest choral music', this year's event takes place in Worcester.
It's believed to the be the longest running music festival in Europe, at 302-years-old, and rotates between the three cathedral cities of Gloucester, Worcester and Hereford.
This year, they've hosted 74 events across eight days and even Prince Charles showed up for one of the gigs!

Bromsgrove Festival
The five-week Bromsgrove Festival has come to a close, having celebrated its 57th year.
The event, which is part funded by the district council, champions music, literature, art, dance, drama, comedy - and all things local.

Track of the Week
We hear from Droitwich musician Lauren Nicole, an 18-year-old singer/songwriter who's been writing and performing since the age of 11.
She also helped us switch on Malvern's Christmas Lights last year!
"An amazing singer/songwriter, with brilliant catchy tunes, who's got an incredible future ahead of her" - Andrew Marston.
