Andrew Marston introduces Ivory Wave (Worcester)

When we first heard Connor James’ tracks, we knew they had to feature in our Top Ten. But the Worcester record producer only went and joined a band!

However, that group is even better - and featured in our Ones To Watch in 2019. Then got played on BBC Radio 1. Then performed at the Peaky Blinders Festival in Birmingham.

Ivory Wave are rapidly becoming renowned for their contagious acid house and dance-style tunes with an army of fans.

Hear their set as they tore up the streets of Digbeth on this week's show!

Thousands of Peaky Blinders fans in flat caps and flapper dresses came together at the TV drama's first official themed festival, where the attractions ranged from ballet to boxing.

A stone's throw from the street where the real Peaky Blinders' first crime was recorded 130 years ago, the gang returned to reclaim their turf - crowds of them, many dressed in the uniform of suits and peaked caps, or tassled party dresses and feathered headbands.

Thanks to the hit TV series inspired by the original Birmingham mobsters, it's no longer a gang. It's a tribe.

The show's creator Steven Knight said: "I spoke to a woman who said she'd come from LA. For the day. That is commitment.

"Somebody else just showed me their leg, which was covered in Peaky Blinders character tattoos. It's very humbling and gratifying that it's had this effect on people."

On Thursday, it was six years to-the-day since Vintage Trax first started selling second hand vinyl in Redditch.

Since then owner Ros Sidaway has opened a shop in Headless Cross, organised several music events (including the celebration of John Bonham) and now she's opened a second shop in the town centre!

Music, this week, from a Bromsgrove singer-songwriter who says she fuses her soulful roots with electronic soundscapes with hints of pop and funk.

Jules Rendell has most recently been performing with indie band Foals in the BBC's world famous Live Lounge in London - and regularly comes back to her family in Worcestershire.

She says through her own mental health struggles she's learned a lot about accepting her own imagination as a positive force in her life - and uses every song to remind herself about keeping healthy in her mind.

This week is all about navigating the music industry - and knowing when to go your own way.

From signing with a major record label, in 2012, through to landing a #1 after singing the soundtrack to the John Lewis Christmas advert, Gabrielle Aplin has now set up her own record label and has plenty of top tips and advice to share of what she's learnt along the way.

Our next recording session takes place at the Conquest Theatre in Bromyard on Sunday, 24 November from 7pm.

If you've only ever driven through the town before, the Conquest is on what we like to call 'Nozstock Street!'.

The theatre has now been hosting events at its Tenbury Road location for a quarter of a century - but they'd been campaigning for a facility like this since the '50s, according to the records book.

Originally, events had been held in an 'old tin hut' which had been built in 1919 by the Royal British Legion. But eventually they decided an all-singing, all-dancing venue was what the town needed.

We'd love to see you on the 24th - simply turn up, there's no need to book.
