Live music

Live music
The Christmas lights are going 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.

In 2016, 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 Phoenix Theatre in Ross-on-Wye, The Victory in Hereford, outside the Guildhall in Worcester, at the Royal Albert Hall, the Worcester Arts Workshop, the Nozstock Festival, T In The Park, 主播大秀 Maida Vale, the Wychwood Festival and Worley's The Swan in Stourport.

We Are Sailing

We Are Sailing

Over these next few weeks, we're catching up with one of the most fascinating couples we have here in Herefordshire.

Jim Rolt and Sally Stamford met while performing at the Bromyard Folk Festival - and later in life, decided to give up the lot and take to the seas in a sailing boat.

They're from Bromyard and Kington, and for the last few years they've been dropping anchor and playing shows wherever the wind has taken them.

So far, their travels have taken them to the Scilly Isles, past the coasts of Spain and Portugal, El Rompido, along the Guadiana river, Chipiona, the Canary isles, Barbados, Bequia, St Lucia, Carriacou, ending up in Grenada - where we catch up with them tonight.

The Christmas Lights have now been officially switched on by 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester in Worcester, Kidderminster, Malvern and Bewdley.

This week, we celebrate the beginning of advent in Bromyard and Bromsgrove.

We chat to some of the musicians involved in the high street's biggest event!

Live tracks: AKA George

Live tracks: AKA George

For any musician, Glastonbury is one of those festivals they aspire to play at.

With the likes of Adele, David Bowie and Coldplay performing over the years, it's surely any young musician's dream.

Our very own AKA George, who's 21-years-old and from Leominster, did just that!

Back in the summer, he performed on the 主播大秀 Introducing stage - after sending his music into us!

Well, he's just returned from the Fuerteventura after playing the WOMAD festival and we caught up with him.

主播大秀 Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival

主播大秀 Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival
This month's sessions were recorded at the Worcester Arts Workshop, as part of this year's Worcester Music Festival.

The free event, which saw more than 200 performances across 30 venues in the city, raised 拢4,139 for Acorns Children's Hospice.

The idea of bringing as many venues together, to host live music, began nine years ago in the hope of making the city known for more than just sauce.

Since then, they've gone on to raise thousands of pounds for local charities and 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester has been involved in the event since day one.

主播大秀 Introducing in Hereford

主播大秀 Introducing in Hereford

主播大秀 Introducing in Hereford & Worcester supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians from Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our area.


Our next recording session takes place on Sunday 4 December where we'll be rolling up to the Booth Hall in Hereford 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 any time from 2pm - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!
