In session

This week's live session comes from a Worcestershire band that has been together since the 鈥�70s and still making music to this day.
听
Quill, whose members have worked with bands such as ELO, The Move and Black Sabbath, regularly tour with Jasper Carrott.
听
But four years ago, their bassist - who was married to the lead singer - died of a heart attack, leaving the future of the band in question.
听
After an emotional couple of years, the group decided to complete some of Ben Brain's unfinished tracks - creating a whole new album of original songs along with artwork that he'd painted in his spare time.
听
His wife, Joy, has subsequently become a full time songwriter.
听
鈥淎 stunningly flawless live show filled with energy, incredible musicianship and a pedigree as long as your arm!鈥� - Andrew Marston.

Paradiddles

We鈥檙e celebrating the sixth year of the national Independent Venue Week, with two of the key venues in Worcester.
听
On Wednesday, the spotlight was very much on the city鈥檚 Marr鈥檚 Bar with Paradiddles carrying the torch for the rest of the celebrations.

In the spotlight: Worcester Music Festival

The Worcester Music Festival was first staged in 2008 by Chris Bennion, who produces Worcestershire Sauce, with the aim to put Worcester on the musical map.
听
Taking place in multiple venues across the city, from pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes to historic buildings, river cruisers, record shops, on the streets and even in breweries, the festival is absolutely free to attend with hundreds of gigs to choose from from some of the best, new and emerging artists in the UK.
听
Each year the festival raises money for a chosen local charity. Last year, the Worcestershire Association of Carers received all the money dropped into buckets at the festival's venues across the weekend.

Musicians' Masterclass

Your money or your rights? This week, we're looking at publishing deals - and the way to split money in a band. After all, it is one of the biggest things that has split up many of your favourite groups.
