Living in the Worcestershire countryside, 18-year-old singer songwriter Oriel Aps says: "I'm a solo artist, writing songs because I love it."

However, she can't play a single instrument! She's spent the last few months learning computer-based production and this was her first-ever live show!

鈥淔irst-class production you鈥檇 normally expect on an Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry or Pharrell track鈥 - Andrew Marston.

麻豆官网首页入口 Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival

麻豆官网首页入口 Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival
This annual festival was first staged in 2008 by Chris Bennion, who produces Worcestershire Sauce.

He set up a website called NotJustSauce - aiming to put Worcester on the map musically.

It's been dubbed as Worcester's version of SXSW in Texas!

Taking place in around multiple venues across the city, from pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes to historic buildings, river cruisers, record shops, on the streets and even in breweries, the festival is absolutely free to attend with hundreds of gigs to choose from from some of the best, new and emerging artists in the UK.

Throughout October, hear all of our highlights as we brought some of favourite acts to perform at Drummonds on the Sunday of the event.

It's been a great year for Led Zeppelin fans; earlier this year, on 麻豆官网首页入口 Music Day, a blue plaque was unveiled at Bronzo's birthplace in Headless Cross.

Sculptor Mark Richards has been commissioned to build the installation, which will be unveiled on what would have been the late drummer's 70th birthday next May.

The Worcestershire Gladiators!

The Worcestershire Gladiators!
25 years ago, this week, The Gladiators became a huge hit on Saturday nights.

The show, which was filmed just up the road at the NIA in Birmingham, featured on ITV for eight years.

Ace, Falcon, Cobra, Lightning, Hunter and Jet were some of the stars you may remember watching while tucking into a takeaway.

It did make a short comeback on Sky back in 2008 with the music produced by Malvern's Paul Farrer. We'll hear from them both on this week's show.

50 Years of Radio 1: The Move

50 Years of Radio 1: The Move
It's the fiftieth birthday of Radio 1 - and the first song played on the station was by a Midlands' band.

Flowers In The Rain is etched into history - and could have made the Worcestershire and Birmingham group, The Move, a fortune...but they've never received a penny from the hit.
