Record Store Day

After Worcester's Rise Records closed, in January, there was an appetite for somewhere else to celebrate the annual occasion.
Ìý
So down at the Worcester Arts Workshop there's been a pop up record store where independent and unsigned musicians have been selling their music.
Ìý
Chloe Mogg, Ruben Seabright, Redwood, Hannah Law and the poet Happy Bones have also been down there entertaining the crowds.
Ìý
Meanwhile, the owner of Worcester's Market Hall Records, Nick Knowles, says there's more interest in vinyl now than at any other time this century.

Top opportunity for local DJ

A Worcester producer - who already has Ibiza Rocks and being the official DJ of the Formula 1 World Tour under his belt - has got a new accolade to add to his already brimming CV.
Ìý
This week, Jay Newman has performed at the main party of Austria's Snowbombing Festival just before Tom Grennan, Eats Everything and Fat Boy Slim.
Ìý
Having made his name as a promoter in Worcester with the Pro-ject warehouse parties - including at a carwash - he's worked his way to the top...of the Alps!

In session

This week's live session comes from 24-year-old singer/songwriter Mae Bradbury, from Eckington, between Pershore and Upton.
Ìý
Recently her songwriting prowess saw her make the finals of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio 2 Young Folk Awards, going on to support Mark Moriss of The Bluetones.

The venue is situated inside Norbury House, an Art Deco building which started life as a luxury hotel - although it's role of putting up guests overnight was reasonably short-lived, having been used as a military hospital in WWII.

Ìý
Nowadays, they share Norbury House with 96 flats. The theatre takes up the largest area of the building, including dressing rooms on the first floor, extensive properties storage in the cellars and scenery in the old kitchens! Not forgetting, of course, the auditorium, foyer and stage!
