In session

Hailing from Chaddesley Corbett, Bewdley & Kidderminster, Plastic Scene are a young five-piece indie psych/rock pop band.
Having won the 'open Lakefest' competition, the band went on to play on the same stage as We Are Scientists and Primal Scream then reached the semi-finals for the ’Greenman Rising’ Competition.
Plastic Scene like to experiment with spacey effects to make a dreamy wash wall of sound, combined with modern indie rock.
They're inspired by the psychedelic synth sounds of the '70s and '80s.
"Dreamy festival-esque prog rock; the real reason musicians are called artists" - Andrew Marston.

Highlights: Sunrise Celebration, Herefordshire

Beginning in 2006 as an alternative to the Glastonbury Festival in its fallow years, Sunrise Celebration originally took place near Yeovil.
Despite two successful events in 2006 and 2007 (boasting 6,000 - 8,000 festival-goers), it's reported the company lost around a £250,000 in its formative period and closed as a result.
They then teamed up with the now-defunct Big Chill and relaunched the festival later that year with 12,000 in attendance - although that figure was just 5,000 the following year.
The project eventually got taken over by the Natural Communities Community Interest Company, a not-for-profit organisation that raises funds for environmental and educational projects.
The event grew to 7,500 in 2010 and 9,000 in 2011 - picking up a number of awards along the way.
Over the next few years, it would move from Somerset to Wiltshire, Chepstow and its new home of Pontrilas in Herefordshire.

Highlights: Hereford's Skate, Eat, Rock, Repeat

Following the huge success of Skate For Cancer, over these last two years, Skate, Eat, Rock, Repeat showcased two days of original live music and skating.
Raising money for Prostate Cancer UK and to maintain the volunteer-run skatepark, more than 20 bands took to centre stage in what's promised to become an annual event.

BBC Music Introducing at Lakefest

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.

Highlights: The Kidderminster Fringe Festival

It started off as a celebration for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - but the Kidderminster Fringe Festival has been growing ever since!
Originally, it was organised by Sid and Sandra of the Boar's Head on Worcester Road, but when they left, last year, the annual gathering carried on.
This summer, it was a two-day street party celebrating 250 years of the modern circus!

BBC Music Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival

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.
