Hay Winter Weekend

The Hay Festival returns to our area, this week, with it's smaller annual offering - the Hay Winter Weekend.
听
It features names from the world of arts and science as well as the town's Christmas lights switch on.
听
This year, Catatonia singer and 主播大秀 6 Music broadcaster Cerys Matthews will be pressing the button.

The Reverend Elvis

Reverend Andy Kelso has toured the world to perform as Elvis for the last eight years - but he'll be hanging up his Blue Suede Shoes for once and for all this Friday.
听
An ex-chaplain to Worcester Warriors and former vicar at Christ Church in Matchborough, Redditch, Andy said he got a calling from God to 鈥渢ake Elvis to the churches鈥�.
听
In his performances, he sings gospel songs and talks about Elvis鈥� spiritual journey 鈥� as well as his own journey after nearly dying in motorcycle accident aged 18.
听
Over the years he鈥檚 performed hundreds of times, but he says his most memorable was in Belfast on a peace mission to bring Catholics and Protestants together. He invited them all to a concert and to his disbelief they filled the building!

Artist of the Week

This week's Artist of the Week is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Ledbury, where you would have found him at the local pub pulling pints!
听
Influenced by Fleetwood Mac, Jamie Cullum, Ed Sheeran, Mamas & Papas, Aretha and Tom Odell, Bastie - who's currently on a gap year pursuing music - joined us at 主播大秀 Music Introducing Live in London.

Features

New Album

Simon Deeley has been playing the piano since he was 7-years-old.
听
Classically trained, he took an interest in jazz and is now a successful jazz pianist, composer and teacher.
听
Simon and his band, The Blue Haze, have been creating their own music for the last three years with two albums already under their belt.
听
This week, we hear about his brand new album Afan鈥檚 Dance.

Malvern Winter Gardens

Malvern is well known for its classical connections, but many people are unaware of the town's other musical story.
听
From the early '60s, for a period of around 30 years, Malvern Winter Gardens rocked to the sounds of bands such The Jam, The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Hawkwind and many more, some of whom were in their infancy at the time.
听
Local charity Rock Around the Hills created an interactive exhibition, thanks to a 拢60,000 grant, celebrating the story of rock, punk and progressive rock at the Winter Gardens from 1961 to 1990.
听
The display features more than 400 posters, tickets, flyers and fanzines, as well as recorded memories from audience members, musicians and promoters who were all part of the scene.
听
Having already been at Malvern Library and the Hive in Worcester, the exhibition has now moved to the airwaves - and we're broadcasting some of those memories every Sunday, from 6pm, here on 主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester.

主播大秀 Music Introducing in Bromyard

Our next recording session takes place at the Conquest Theatre in Bromyard on Sunday, 24 November from 7pm.
听
If you've only ever driven through the town before, the Conquest is on what we like to call 'Nozstock Street!'.
听
The theatre has now been hosting events at its Tenbury Road location for a quarter of a century - but they'd been campaigning for a facility like this since the '50s, according to the records book.
听
Originally, events had been held in an 'old tin hut' which had been built in 1919 by the Royal British Legion.听But eventually they decided an all-singing, all-dancing venue was what the town needed.
听
We'd love to see you on the 24th - simply turn up, there's no need to book.
