Available for 15 days

Andrew Marston introduces some festive sounds to this holiday period and rounds up some incredible sessions from some of our area's biggest success stories, including: • Live music from Carol Decker of T’Pau, teaming up with the BBC Concert Orchestra, as she reflects on the early days of van tours from Shrewsbury to London and the advice she gives to new artists to reach the charts. • Robbie Williams, Stoke-on-Trent born and bred, reflects on a 30-year career that proves anyone from humble beginnings can reach the top of the charts and become one of the most talked-about musicians on the planet. • In our Musicians’ Masterclass: finding your voice without losing it, Albrighton’s Nieve Ella sits down with vocal coach Lorna Blackwood to share what touring, festivals and real life taught them about protecting your voice. • We hear from Kidderminster’s Robert Plant, who went from tarmacking roads in the Black Country to redefining rock music with Led Zeppelin, and is now mentoring a new generation of Worcestershire musicians with his band Saving Grace. • In our Music News: A Worcester man who left submarines to open a new record store, a Bridgnorth musician behind the most played dance record in America, and a Stoke-on-Trent pop star who made a 94-year-old’s wish come true. • We trace Peter Hook’s path from a working-class Cheshire childhood to post-punk pioneer with Joy Division and New Order, sharing the highs, the losses, and the music that changed everything.
