• Leominster guitarist Rhys John Stubbs - whose intricate musicianship wowed the crowds on our stage at The Hay Festival. And what's even more remarkable is that he's back playing after recovering from a freak injury to his hand!

• In a huge weekend for our local festivals, we check in on Worcester's Wacky Weekender, Nozstock near Bromyard, Bromsgrove's Raising Steam and the huge 30th anniversary for Kidderminster's Festival At The Edge.

• Hear from the Powick choir who have been recently spotted singing at Windsor Castle.

• Meet former University of Worcester student Grace Beverley - who's been composing the music for a new video game.

• We catch up with Malvern's Sheddy Maria, after her intimate homecoming show at the Lumina tattoo parlour.
