Andrew Marston introduces Devon Mayson (Evesham)

24-year-old Devon Mayson is an Evesham-based country singer/songwriter, who's originally from the east of England.

In 2015, she was crowned as Miss Essex, and has recently returned from a six-week European tour with Nashville's Caitlin Koch.

Influenced by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, The Dixie Chicks and Fleetwood Mac, it was a real pleasure to welcome her to this year's Lakefest at Eastnor Castle.

“Beautiful songs from an artist who’s been our BBC Introducing Track of the Week on so many occasions” - Andrew Marston.

A local charity hosted a one-day music festival in Malvern last weekend.

Floating Lotus, which supports the local arts and performers, took place at The Orchard Venue at the foot of Midsummer Hill near Ledbury.

The White Feather Collective, Sundara and Martin Thorne were among the names on the bill.

• The biggest events in Herefordshire & Worcestershire

This September, for the first time ever, BBC Music Introducing partnered with PRS Foundation to bring some of the UK’s best emerging talent to Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg.

Now in its tenth year, the festival is one of Germany's largest, featuring a wide-ranging events programme across more than 50 venues.

BBC Introducing was there at Nochtspeicher on the 21 September with four of the finest up-and-coming artists the UK has to offer, as selected by Radio 1's Huw Stephens.

15,000 cyclists took to the streets of Worcestershire, West Midlands and Shropshire in the Birmingham Velo, last Sunday.

Hundreds of spectators lined the 100-mile route, cheering on the riders who had travelled far and wide to take part.

But the day wasn't just about the cycling. The Gardener's Arms, in Droitwich, embraced the event and put on a whole day of entertainment for the local community.

From midday, there was live music from local DJs and singers, including Clyde Spencer (who was born in Brooklyn) and now living in Droitwich who was once in the American Drifters.

He tell us his story of fame and fortune and offers top advice for up-and-coming musicians.

• Our tips for 'making it' in the record industry

This month's sessions were recorded at Eastnor Castle Deer Park as part of this year's Lakefest.

Headliners included Wilko Johnson, Aswad, The Charlatans, Badly Drawn Boy, Feeder, Imelda May, Rozalla and Seth Lakeman.

Organisers say it's one of the fastest growing festivals in the UK and BBC Hereford & Worcester had a tent at the festival for the three days, showcasing local talent from across the area. 

• Highlights from Lakefest 2017

A Droitwich group, who are massive on the continent - but relatively unknown here in Worcestershire - are in the Californian desert, headlining a post-apocalyptic festival, tonight.

V2A, who are from Ombersley, regularly tour Europe and America performing in front of thousands.

As well as playing the Mad Max-themed event, they've also played at the Globe Theatre in Hollywood, this week.

The group, which has been going since 2001, are signed to a German record label and will be performing at Comic Con in Manchester later this year.

• The interviews you may have missed on the radio

The original Modern Romance got together in the early 80s. Their first chart success was in the Summer of '81, with Everybody Salsa, and in 1982 they reached their highest chart position with Best Years Of Our Lives. After 20 top twenty singles, they split up in 1985.

Andy Kyriacou reformed the band in 2001 when the 80s revival scene was taking off and began to take on the festival circuit. The band performed alongside Blue, Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Atomic Kitten and Paul Young at this year’s Upton Festival - and we’ve been getting his top tips for those just starting out.

• Danni Hunt's list of live music from local musicians

At BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester, we support the very best new music from across our region.

Since 2005, we've broadcast nearly 1,000 sessions, helping to showcase some of our area's most talented musicians to a massive audience.

Some of our recent highlights include Leominster’s AKA George at Glastonbury, Bromyard’s Remi Harris at the Montreal Jazz Festival and Hay-on-Wye’s Cherryshoes at T In The Park. 

We’ve handpicked some of our favourite acts to join us on stage at our next big event, which takes place on Sunday 29 October at the Phoenix Theatre in Ross-on-Wye.

These artists didn't even know they were being considered - and we hope this inspires people to keep sending in their music, because we really do listen to everything!

Admission is free and we'd love to see you anytime between 2pm and 6pm.
