Warning: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including: • Jayler’s 2026 is shaping up to be extraordinary: The Staffordshire boys hit a 45,000-strong stadium in Brazil alongside Guns N’ Roses and Lynyrd Skynyrd; follow that with UK dates supporting rock legends Sammy Hagar and Joan Jett; and conclude the year with a European tour across 22 countries with Deep Purple. • Twisted rhythms, gospel choirs and anxiety turned anthemic. We’re catching up with Kidderminster’s White Noise Cinema as they reset, rebuild and look to summer 2026. • Hearing from Shropshire's Never Stay Down as their sound travels across the globe, with airplay in the USA and Australia. • In our Musicians' Masterclass: Albrighton's Nieve Ella and vocal coach to the stars Lorna Blackwood reveal the secrets behind live and studio performance. • From castles to choruses - Bromsgrove's Capas tells how a life-changing accident turned him from window cleaner to world-touring composer. • In our Music News: From Beatles nights to making a difference for those who were just starting out, we reflect on the legacy of Stoke-on-Trent’s Mike Lloyd, laid to rest this week. • Heavy thoughts, delicate delivery and a cathedral full of echo. Worcester's E S joins us live in Hereford, sharing how making music became her coping mechanism, and why doing it for herself finally brought peace. Upload your tracks now: bbc.co.uk/introducing
