Captain Jeffrey are from Redditch and their band comprises guitars, bass, drums, sax and flute to create some bluesy, funky rock music.

They're influenced by Led Zeppelin, Band of Skulls, Black Keys, James Brown and Prince.

"Good time blues, good time funk, good time soul - what more could you want from a band?" - Andrew Marston.

Big Love Festival

Big Love Festival

Festival season has begun!

As well as the annual Upton Folk Festival, which returns for the May Day celebrations, a brand new event called the Big Love Festival takes over Baskerville Hall near Hay-on-Wye this weekend.

The venue, which was made famous by Arthur Conan Doyle, also built the reputation of being a pioneer of the underground dance music scene across the decades.

The Big Love Festival was founded a decade ago, when they organised a Make Poverty History event.

But this is the first time they've organised anything in their own right.

This month's sessions were recorded at the Boar's Head in Kidderminster - a pub that has been under the threat of closure since the start of the year, due to financial pressures.

Sid and Sandra, who run the venue, took it on after bringing the The Beat to the Town Hall.

Ever since, they've been hosting a variety of punk, ska, rock and indie nights, booking bands from as far afield as Germany, Australia and America.

They also stage an annual two day festival outside their Worcester Street venue.

主播大秀 Introducing at the Hay Festival

主播大秀 Introducing at the Hay Festival

Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 29 May where we'll be rolling up to The Hay Festival to record several acts who we've been playing on 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester recently.

We'll bring the bands - all we need now is the fans!

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

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