What a scorcher - then the heaven's opened - then what a scorcher again - before the heaven's opened again!

It was the story of the weekend at this year's Nozstock Festival at Rowden Paddocks near Bromyard - where this year they held their Wild Wild West theme.

DJ Yoda, Mr Scruff and Chas & Dave were headlining - but we also nabbed our own stage in 'The Hidden Valley' - and highlights from that will be broadcast throughout the whole of August.

Malvern Rocks!

Malvern Rocks!

Taking place across many pubs, hotels and clubs in Malvern, this new music festival put听the rich, diverse pool of musical talent in and around Malvern听to work for a great local cause: Acorns Children's Hospice.

Three days of free music included pop to punk, folk to metal - in a similar format to that of the Worcester Music Festival.

This year TV star and celebrity chef Loyd Grossman听headlined the event with his new band!

This week's live session was recorded at TWO festivals - Nozstock and Malvern Rocks!

Puffin Ethics is from Hereford - and called himself that because of his asthma and love of inspirational words.

He's one of the newest people in the music scene - but don't let that discourage you - as he's one of the brightest young rappers to emerge in a very long time.

Worcester Music Festival

Worcester Music Festival

More than 400 bands will be playing in Worcester this weekend - covering the musical spectrum from Glee to trad jazz.

The gigs will be free - as part of the growing Worcester Music Festival.

The event is entirely run by volunteers and most of the acts are local.

Rachel By The Stream

Rachel By The Stream

She once lived in a caravan, would regularly look for discarded musical instruments on Worcester tip, worked as a crystal polisher and a ghost hunter, and writes beautiful songs about life, love and socks.

But this week, the Bromsgrove musician , who relocated to Australia a couple of years ago has returned听to the faithful city to perform at this year's Worcester Music Festival - hot off the heels of playing Glastonbury.

Meet The Musicians

Once a month, we've been recording acts chosen by us at a variety of venues across the area - including at some of our biggest festivals.

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 1 September at the Worcester Arts Workshop, as part of the Worcester Music Festival, and features the five acts we plan to broadcast throughout August and September.

Acts chosen are:

None of these acts knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded - which led them to receiving airplay on 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester.

Doors open at 4pm - we're on till 9pm - turn up anytime and admission is free!
