A stunning acoustic set from a Ledbury act bringing a new twist on Americana. Plus a celebration of Staffordshire's epic history of live music. With Andrew Marston.

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

• First came the blue plaques then the open-top bus tours, discover Stoke's legendary nightclub legacy will be remembered in a huge mural.

• Last time we caught up with Shrewsbury's Jessie Reid, she was working in an IVF clinic, writing with lyrics which ended up with her performing at Glastonbury! With a new album to come, she's about to come on a world tour.

• In our Musicians' Masterclass: How to look after the most important instrument you have. Vocal coach to Dua Lipa, George Ezra, Tom Walker and more, Lorna Blackwood shares an insight on why keeping your voice healthy also calms your nerves.

• From nightlife, to day-life! We explore the rise in the popularity of the daytime disco, which has exploded in popularity across Staffordshire.

• We're visiting a brand-new music hub in the centre of Shrewsbury, In Good Hands. They're hosting so much live music for the emotional wellbeing of the community.

• In our Music News: An Oscar nomination landing in Market Drayton and the Herefordshire act topping the TikTok charts with a 16-year-old track.

• Fresh off the back of a BCMA nomination, we investigate the resurgence of country music. In the week Dolly Parton turns 80, Droitwich's Lolly Parton and Malvern act Wood Burnt Red share how they found their way in to the genre whose popularity shows no sign of stopping.

• The last in our series from Hereford Cathedral, with an intricate live session courtesy of Ledbury band Falling Into View.
