Dribbz in session
For Comic Relief’s 24-hour Dart-a-thon, Âé¶¹Éç Introducing took over Telford Centre at night! Plus our first big local festival line-up reveal of the year. With Andrew Marston.
Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:
• This Easter Monday, Âé¶¹Éç Introducing is at the heart of the Nantwich Jazz, Blues & Music Festival. Hear how one idea from nearly 30 years ago became a must-have for the town’s music scene and local businesses.
• In the Music News: A Kidderminster dance sensation signs for Sony, Shropshire behemoths T'Pau release a first album in 11 years and Stokie Slash's guitar is up for grabs.
• From school-day mischief to a first vinyl release, two Stoke-on-Trent friends are finally making a 50-year dream a reality, and inviting Staffordshire teenagers to design the sleeve.
• Dean Jackson sits down with Malvern’s former resident and world-renowned violinist Nigel Kennedy, as he reflects on the hills, the old Lamb in West Malvern and the extraordinary journey that made him a global star.
• From Rhodes to Bromyard, Sam and Damjen’s journey has brought Balkan rhythms and boogie-woogie grooves straight into Herefordshire classrooms, sparking the start of The Hours Between.
• In our Musicians' Masterclass: Online sales, tiered pricing, and pay-what-you-can schemes - how local venues are using flexibility and teamwork to keep live music alive.
• As part of Comic Relief’s 24-hour Dart-a-thon, we took over the Telford Centre, inviting various musicians to take part in the challenge and record a live session while they were at it. Coming up, Donnington’s own Dribbz on how childhood pain became powerful music, and why he’s now using his voice to make a difference for young people and champion men’s mental health across Telford.
