ClayToRide spent seven years cutting their teeth as musicians in their homeland of Italy before packing their bags and moving to Hay-on-Wye!

They make alternative rock and have played hundreds of shows throughout Italy and Central Europe, as well as here in the UK.

Since their inception, they've released an EP and two full albums.

Already racking up comparisons to Biffy Clyro, Placebo, and the Foo Fighters, ClayToRide describe their music as: "A fusion of engaging alternative rock cuts stocked with forceful razor-sharp hooks that render them an instantly catchy listen."

“A high energy performance from a band who are at the cutting edge” - Andrew Marston.

When you think of the most played artists of all time on British television, you could be mistaken in thinking it's the Beatles or the Kinks from the '60s, Elton John or Stevie Wonder from the '70s, The Eurythmics or Wham from the '80s, Blur or Oasis in the '90s, or Eminem, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga from this side of the millennium.

But one artist from Malvern surpasses possibly all of those artists put together - yet nobody really knows who he is.

This week, we start a brand new series with one of the most influential television composers of all time - David Lowe.

And while you may not know the name, you'll certainly be familiar with his work.

A local history of great gigs and musical legends

It was the biggest new music business gathering to ever to be held in the UK, with more than 100 sessions and 250 speakers ensuring every aspect of the music business was covered.

This week, we hear from Melanie C of the Spice Girls, Paul Pacifico of the Association of Independent Music, Laura Sykes of Secretly Label Group and Paul Hitchman of Kobalt Music on keeping control of your career.

Our tips for 'making it' in the record industry
