Live music in Herefordshire & Worcestershire

Live music in Herefordshire & Worcestershire
For the ninth year running, throughout the whole of December and continuing into the new year, we won't be playing a single CD, MP3, tape or vinyl - because we're giving you the music you won't be able to get anywhere else on the planet.

In 2013, we continued to take the show on-the-road to some of the biggest events and most happening places in the two counties.

None of these artists knew they were being considered for these opportunities - they were chosen based on the tracks they sent into the .

Working in the Music Industry

This week, we meet a fascinating guest from Worcester - whose career in the music industry booking stadium shows for the world's A-list, began after attending gigs at Worcester's Gaumont Theatre.

Anita Ashton Booth, who now lives at Clows Top, recalls watching groups such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Engelbert on tour here -

Her career would eventually take her to London - to LA - and eventually into Hollywood.

What a stressful year it's been for Kidderminster's Sally Haines.

18 months ago, her family's sheet metal business was doing so well, she landed contracts with Heathrow Airport and Wembley Stadium.

Then the recession hit so hard, Sally had no choice other than to put her parents' company into liquidation.

But musically speaking, the timing was perfect.

Sally always wanted a career as a performer, having trained in the theatre - and now, 12 years later, she's continuing what she once started and is a regular on the Midlands' circuit.

Hear her remarkable story and poignant songs on this week's Introducing show.

What a great year it's been for Kidderminster's Georgina Upton!

When I met up with her at Nozstock during the summer, she said she was thinking about jacking it all in as nobody ever took any notice of her music - !

Since then, she's been picked up by 主播大秀 1xtra after we submitted her tracks - gaining a playlist place, attracting support from the likes of Twin B, Sarah Jane Crawford, MistaJam, Trevor Nelson, Yasmin Evans, Adele Roberts and DJ Target.

It was the final town in Worcestershire we'd not visited since we started taking the show out on-the-road in 2001 - so it was time to change all that!

On a cold, dark, autumn Sunday night at the end of November, we rolled up next to Pershore railway station to record at Tower Studios - who've just completed a 48-hour "drumathon" for charity.

The five acts on stage blew us away - so be prepared for some top tunes as we head you through the festive season!
