Andrew Marston with the Proclaimers, The Farm, Toploader and The Wurzels.

One of the Sunday headliners at Lakefest, this year, were Scottish brothers The Proclaimers.

The band, whose tour manager lives near Bromyard, last visited Eastnor Castle Deer Park during the Big Chill.

Charlie and Craig Reid have released 11 studio albums since 1987 and say they've written more than 150 songs.

The band were discovered after sending their demo to the Housemartins and landed a UK tour - leading them to make their television debut.

We get their top tips for success - including unlikely places to get your music heard (such as Shrek!).

• Watch their interview

They've sold more than two million albums, have had a string of top 20 hits across the world, but are mostly known as a covers band!

Toploader performed at Lakefest, on Sunday, and say the success of Dancing In The Moonlight was because there wasn't anything similar being released at the time.

The band have been regulars at our local music festivals - playing Mello, WuStock, Livestock and Wychwood in recent years.

• Watch their interview

One of the Saturday headliners, at this year's Lakefest, were Liverpool band The Farm.

We hear about their big hit single 'All Together Now', which was written about the Christmas truce on the Western Front during World War I.

The band talk about how that song has become a football anthem at stadiums all over the world.

• Highlights from Lakefest 2018

They're known for their big hits The Combine Harvester and I Am A Cider Drinker; The Wurzels were another act to grace the stages at this year's Lakefest.

But the band have had a long affiliation with our area, regularly playing at Hogarths in Hereford, The Malvern Cube, Nozstock and the Upton Sunshine Festival.

One of their newest singles, Old Rosie, was written about a steam engine based at Weston's Cider in Much Marcle near Ledbury.

• Highlights from last year's Lakefest

Jack Hyphen began writing mellow acoustic tracks after the split of Herefordshire indie rock band Point Zero, which he was the front man of.

Jack, who’s from Shobdon near Leominster, draws influence from artists such as Ben Howard, Bombay Bicycle Club, Alt-J, MGMT, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro and Hozier.

However, to fill out our BBC Music stage at Lakefest, he recruited some additional musicians...from his old band, Point Zero!

"A dynamic songwriter with beautiful melodies and a real warmth on stage" - Andrew Marston.

This month's sessions were recorded at Lakefest, which took place on the Eastnor Castle Deer Park near Ledbury.

Headliners this year included The Darkness, Marc Almond, The Waterboys, Reverend and the Makers, The Proclaimers, Melanie C and Toploader.

The event is organised by husband and wife Paul O'Neill and Caitlin Barrett of the Roving Crows - who played their first-ever festival through BBC Introducing.

Wanting to return the favour, they invited us to have a BBC Music tent at their annual event.

• How the festival started

It's been dubbed as Worcester's version of SXSW in Texas!

Taking place in multiple venues across the city, from pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes to historic buildings, river cruisers, record shops, on the streets and even in breweries, the festival is absolutely free to attend with hundreds of gigs to choose from from some of the best, new and emerging artists in the UK.

Each year the festival raises money for a chosen local charity. This year the Worcestershire Association of Carers will receive all the money dropped into buckets at the festival's venues across the weekend.

On Sunday, 16 September, we'll be showcasing House of Wolvxs, Bryn Teeling & The River Thieves, Flex, Stone Mountain Sinners and Mitch Loveridge at Drummonds from 2pm.
