Andrew Marston with coverage of the Upton Folk Festival
Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire.
• They're #1 in the Official Folk Albums Charts; we catch up with the Herefordshire frontman of Oysterband, who's going on tour for the first time in more than two years.
• It's back for the first time since the pandemic and is our first big event of the year - we're at the Upton Folk Festival.
• Fresh off the back of last week's series looking at cruise ship musicians, we catch up with Worcester band The Innocent who are currently working for Disney in the Caribbean.
• Inspired by storytellers and atmosphere makers, we hear the haunting sounds of Stourport's Natalie Bouloudis who's our Artist of the Week.
• Bringing you the highlights from when the Queen's Royal Marines Band unexpectedly turned up on a street in Redditch.
• Found out how Upton's Karyo got on with Redditch's Project Revise in this week's Cover Roulette.
