The festival brought three days of brilliant live music to Ratlinghope, near Church Stretton. Plus we return to the site of Lakefest with the organiser. With Andrew Marston.
Caution: This show may contain future stars! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:
• Farmer Phil’s Festival brought three days of brilliant live music to Ratlinghope, near Church Stretton. We’ve got the highlights!
• The stages have fallen silent, the tents have gone and Eastnor Castle Deer Park is almost back to normal. But we're back at the site of Lakefest with the organiser, looking at the highs, the lows and the plans for next year.
• We're taking you behind-the-scenes at the Worcester Show, where BBC Introducing chose the live music and celebrated the best of our local talent.
• In our Music News: Hereford has a brand new 1,400-seat music venue. Find out what's coming to The AMP.
• Staffordshire is getting ready to welcome thousands of music fans for Trentham Live. With The Fratellis, Madness, Five and The Human League headlining, we hear why this year’s line-up is so special.
• In our Festival Guide: Details of this year's Malvern Rocks, Cheshire Fest and The Old Bush Blues Festival near Worcester.
• A city famous for its pits and pots also played a major part in the rave revolution. We're exploring the clubs, characters and culture that put Stoke-on-Trent on the dance music map.
