Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Phillip Stoneman introduces the best new music from our area, including: • Taking you to a former beanbag factory, just off the A49 between Shrewsbury and Church Stretton, which has been transformed into a state-of-the-art recording studio and creative base for developing new artists and their sound. • In the Music News: Kington's Ellie Goulding picks up an MBE, a 90s chart sensation comes to Crewe and your full festival guide for a packed Bank Holiday weekend, from Newcastle's Lymelight to the Hay Festival, Redditch's Breaking Bands Festival and Evesham's Dubs In The Middle. • From Glastonbury-sized crowds to one of Worcester’s most intimate stages. Becky Hill is heading home to headline the Marr’s Bar, as a nationwide grassroots music takeover aims to keep live venues thriving. • In our Musicians’ Masterclass: We focus on funding, as artists learn how to turn creative plans into applications that win financial support. • Another Bank Holiday Weekend and another celebration to Burslem's finest! We visit the new Lemmy themed bar and memorabilia shop that's opened to support ambitious plans for the future of the Queen's Theatre. • Live music from our BBC Introducing stage at the Nantwich Jazz, Blues & Music Festival, as Ollie Hawkins brings a country-infused sound shaped by small-town roots, performing on both sides of the Atlantic and already turning heads from Nantwich to Nashville.
