Warning: This show may contain future chart-toppers! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Taking you back to the roots of the Upton Blues Festival which welcomed 190 acts across five days.

• Sam Ryder, Natalie Imbruglia and Sister Bliss from Faithless have already wowed the crowds at Ludlow Castle – Olly Murs is next to take the stage. But first, we'll hear from Shrewsbury’s own Cally Rhodes – chosen by us at Â鶹Éç Introducing to open the show!

• What do you do when songwriting stops bringing you joy? In this week's Musicians' Masterclass, Charlieeee, Gracey, Kintish & Låpsley open up about burnout, breakthroughs and the magic of starting again.

• Twenty-five years. Thousands of bands. Endless memories. We're raising a glass at the Marr’s Bar - Worcester’s home of live music since 1999.

• Highlights from WoodShrop, at the West Mids Showground - a shining example of how passion, persistence and a love of music has helped a growing festival thrive through 2025 - while so many others didn’t make it.

• In our Music News: Details on this year's Three Choirs Festival in Hereford, Malvern Rocks, Cheshire's Dubbed Out and Together Again, plus the Gladstone Pottery Rave in Stoke.

• Lolly ruled the charts in the '90s - now the Staffordshire star is learning the new music game from her daughter, and falling back in love with pop all over again.

• We continue our summer of live music from the brand new £1.5m Boothen Quarter at Stoke City's stadium with Rebelyous - a Biddulph rapper with R&B soul, who’s shared stages with Myles Smith and studio time with DJ Ironik.
