鈥淎 hit factory of beautiful melodies by some of the most talented musicians on the local scene. Harmonic bliss!鈥 - Andrew Marston.

2 - 4 August: The Drunken Monkey Rock Festival nr Upton

The Drunken Monkey Rock Festival, near Upton, returns this weekend in memory of a local music fan.

The team of 15 volunteers that put the event together during the year more than doubles when the event is on.

This year, more than 50 bands will be performing across two stages, raising money for the Midlands Air Ambulance.

Lakefest: Sean Ryder & Iain Robertson

Lakefest returns to Eastnor Deer Park in August this year and will be guaranteed to be even bigger and better than ever.

Kaiser Chiefs, Happy Mondays, The Pigeon Detectives, James and Sophie Ellis-Bextor are all on the line-up.

主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester will also have a tent at the festival, showcasing local talent from Herefordshire & Worcestershire.听

Tonight we hear from Sean Ryder of the Happy Mondays and Iain Robertson, who's been a rock & roll tour manager for the last two decades.

In this time, Iain's worked with Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Bananarama, Roberta Flack, Johnny Rotten, BB King and Oasis.

Author of 'What's the Story', an internationally best selling biography of Oasis, Iain is looking after the VIP section at this year's Lakefest.

Musicians' Masterclass

Every week, we offer top tips and advice for new musicians - while giving an incredible insight into the industry for those who are just music fans.

On the sofa, this week, are the band You Me at Six - who topped the album charts and were then dropped when their record label got bought up.

主播大秀 Music Introducing in Malvern

This month's live sessions come the Malvern Cube, which has undergone a huge transformation since last time we visited in 2013.

The Albert Road North venue is run by volunteers 'for the community, by the community'.

In 2012 the Cube was saved from closure by local people.

It鈥檚 now a vibrant and welcoming centre with a busy cafe at its heart, hosting arts and entertainment, as well as being home to a thriving programme for young people and more than 30 community groups who offer a huge range of activities.
