Hereford & Worcester

Warning: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including: • We're championing Shropshire duo Larimae as their experimental electronic sound reaches BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music.

We meet Congleton musician II Rivers to hear the story behind his latest release. • Forget the glamorous recording studio. Telford producer Midz makes music in a kitchen cupboard after a full day as a bricklayer. Having helped build the local grime scene behind the camera, he’s now building his own future in music. • In our Festival Guide: Details of this week's Bewdley Festival and looking ahead to the Hay Festival Winter Weekend. • A converted cow shed, a packed arena and some seriously beefy basslines.
