In session
Chloë Elliot is a 16-year-old singer/songwriter from Worcestershire who loves to sing, write and perform!
She's been singing as long as she can remember and is working hard to share her music with the world.
Because we like to help with things like that - she joined us to switch on Worcester's Christmas Lights!
"Haunting thought-provoking songs with lush melodies and mesmerising lyrics" - Andrew Marston.

The Malvern rave that ended all raves
This month, we're looking back at some of the big moments of 2017 - including the anniversary of the "biggest drug-pushing racket in the whole of the UK", leading to a dramatic change in the law.
2017 marks 25 years since the illegal rave on Castlemorton Common in Malvern.
It started on the May Bank Holiday weekend in 1992 and led to a week of disruption and destruction for people living nearby.
Hear our report from back in the day and the legacy it left behind.

Switching on the Christmas Lights
Thousands of people gathered to see the Christmas lights being switched on in Worcester, at the end of November, by BBC Hereford & Worcester - and we chose the music!
Tazmin Barnes, Chloe Elliot, KIM and JR Hopkins joined Elliott Webb, Malcolm Boyden, Pudsey and the Mayor of Worcester to officially launch the festive season, which sees many of the shops open until 8pm every Thursday night until Christmas.
All four acts performed a number of tracks they uploaded to bbc.co.uk/introhw and an 'alternative' Christmas cover as we count our way down to the big day.
