Andrew Marston introduces Jack Morgan (Ross-on-Wye)

Ross-on-Wye singer/songwriter Jack Morgan splits his time between busking and performing in a band.

He plays guitar as his primary instrument, but also plays drums and piano.

He's been singing and writing his own music since he was 9-years-old and his influences include Ed Sheeran, James Bay and Catfish and The Bottlemen.

“A great songwriter with deep heartfelt lyrics from somebody right at the beginning of their musical journey" - Andrew Marston.

A Hereford musician and film-maker is hitting the big time after her debut production ‘The Wall Of Lyon’ picked up several awards and screenings at film festivals across the globe.

Ashleigh Harley, who’s been writing since the age of 12, was forced to leave school due to a life-limiting illness.

But after crowdfunding a campaign to bring her stories to the screen, Ashleigh had to teach herself production, grading, CGI animation, music scoring, artwork production, sound and editing.

Testing her to her limits, as she worked from her bedroom with technology that struggled to cope with the enormous complexity of what she doing, she’s managed to attract the attention of the biggest names in the industry – winning a mentorship with BAFTA.

She’s also picked up a number of awards for the film and is a top 10 finalist, for her music, in an LA-based competition.

Her main theme, Judge Me, has now had more than 67,000 plays.

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

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 wrap up our series with Dave Lowe by exploring some of his biggest achievements - from composing for Abbey Road Studios to the Olympics, and being featured on the official launch of the Apple iPod.
