Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including: • What started as a tribute is now a blueprint. In 2026, the Lemmy legacy in Burslem looks set to take its biggest step yet, with plans for Kilmister Halls and a town-wide urban rock festival beginning to scale up. • Two years since The Voice UK, Telford builder Callum Doignie has turned nerves into stage magic. With new music and festival dates ahead, 2026 is just the beginning. • In our Music News: Herefordshire's biggest music export is awarded an MBE and one of our area’s most successful bands lands a new show on Netflix. • Hearing the new single from Hereford's Lucia, fresh off performing on our BBC Introducing stage at the Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre. • Alan McGee, Rockfield Studios and the Stoke venues where Oasis honed their craft - we trace the path to stardom after a year that saw one of music’s biggest reunions. • In our Musicians' Masterclass: Albrighton's Nieve Ella reflects on the journey from lockdown strumming to standout festival performances and discovering her true voice. • Shropshire roots, Staffordshire spirit: Retail Store talk song-writing, live shows and the inspirations driving their genre-spanning debut EP. • FFO Amy Winehouse, Adele and Raye: Worcester's Miriam delivers cinematic, Bond-esque soulful-pop with honest lyrics about home, love and forging her own path, as performed live at Hereford Cathedral for BBC Introducing.
