Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including a phenomenal set from Staffordshire rockers Jayler, plus live tracks from Worcester's BenObi and Gaby Kettle.

Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Talking about the importance of Independent Venue Week as new figures reveal grassroots venues, such as pubs and clubs, are closing at the rate of one a week, with discussion from Captain's Bar in Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester promoters Uncover and Percy's Café and Bar in Whitchurch.

• How one of Stoke's live music venues is bouncing back after the quick response of the local fire brigade.

• Years in the planning - how the team at Camp Bestival in Shropshire say it's "more than just music".

• In our Musicians' Masterclass: How independent labels are now accounting for nearly half of all record sales, so we offer top advice on how you can do it yourself.

• Live tracks from Worcester's BenObi and Gaby Kettle, as put forward by us here at BBC Introducing, at a special performance on Radio 4's Loose Ends with Clive Anderson.

• If you're a fan of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Aerosmith, you're going to love our live session from Staffordshire rockers Jayler.
