In session

In session

Marie-Claire Berreen & Her Husbands are a fine slice of 21st century folk, rock, pop and country roots, combined with stirring lyrics, inspired by the elements and observations on modern society.

The band are based between Worcester and Rugby and have a superb unique sound, muscular and dynamic, yet capable of great delicacy.

They're influenced by acts such as Elbow, Tori Amos & Damien Rice.

Live music

The Christmas lights have gone up across our towns and cities - and continuing our annual tradition, we play nothing but live music as we head towards the end of the year.听

In 2015, as we celebrated 10 years of supporting the very best unsigned, undiscovered & under-the-radar music, we continued to take the show on-the-road to some of the biggest events and most happening places in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

This week, hear some of the performances we recorded at The Wychwood Festival, The Globe in Hay-on-Wye, The White Lion in Leominster, The Colwall Family Music Festival, The Artrix in Bromsgrove, Lakefest near Evesham and at The Conquest Theatre in Bromyard.

Rockfield Studios

Rockfield Studios

We return to Rockfield Studios in Monmouth - where this week, we talk about the bands that trashed the place!

It almost got itself a reputation in the early days as the studio for "difficult bands".

As owner Lisa Ward explains, you won't find any Persian rugs or Ming vases in this place; she remembers one of her jobs, as a kid, was to regularly wipe the tomato ketchup off the walls.

主播大秀 Introducing in Bromyard

主播大秀 Introducing in Bromyard
The last series of sessions we're broadcasting this year were recorded at the Conquest Theatre in Bromyard.

If you've only ever driven through the town before, it's on Nozstock Street!

The Conquest has been hosting events at its Tenbury Road location for the last 21 years - but they'd been campaigning for a facility like this since the 50s, according to the records book!

Originally, events had been held in an 'old tin hut' which had been built in 1919 by the Royal British Legion.

But eventually they decided an all-singing, all-dancing venue was what the town needed.

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they听.

So if you'd like to Be Part Of It then simply turn up on the day - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!

Doors open at 4pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up any time until 8pm.
