• In this week’s Musicians’ Masterclass: We look at home recording - and how to make radio-quality tracks from your bedroom.
• In our Gig Guide: Meeting the Redditch woman who's been fanning the flames for local music for the last 10 months online.
• In our Music News: Local reaction to this year's Glastonbury cancellation.
• In our Introducing Collaborator: Find out how Evesham's Jeremy Johnson got on with Worcester's BenObi - and we'll be meeting next week's collaborators.
• Hearing from Hereford's Olly Alexander, of Years & Years fame, on starring in the Channel 4 drama It's A Sin.
