Andrew Marston introduces The Fireside Family (Herefordshire)

Unsigned, undiscovered & under-the-radar music, as recorded at Ledbury's Market Theatre.

鈥� Malvern composer Paul Farrer talks us through the scoring of the orchestral and choral work for the ITV show Ninja Warrior.

鈥� We have the ultimate battle of the bands - in one corner, we have a highly successful original act from Kidderminster - in the other corner, a local tribute artist.

鈥� Our Musicians鈥� Masterclass looks at the various ways of breaking into music journalism.

鈥� The Herefordshire singer that vows never to have children, until the world is more serious about tackling climate change.

鈥� Live music from the Herefordshire folk group the Fireside Family.

In session

This week's live session comes from The Fireside Family, from Herefordshire, who've been performing together for at least 5 generations.
听
All of the members of the family have been influenced by the folk sounds of First Aid Kit and Of Monsters and Men, and also stalwarts of mainstream pop - from Ed Sheeran to Annie Lennox.
听
'The Fireside Family' have been delighting audiences around the country since 2014.
听
"Poignent lyrics delivered with class and style. They鈥檙e as fun on stage as they are off!" - Andrew Marston.

TV composer

One of Britain鈥檚 most successful musicians, whose music is played all over the world every single day, is Malvern composer Paul Farrer.
听
Having written the theme to the Weakest Link and Dancing On Ice, Paul is also the musical director to Michael McIntyre's Unexpected Star and The Chase - and most recently penned the music for the Royal Variety Performance.
听
He writes most of his music from home, but has made songs on a beach, on trains, in cars - which he then sends to international orchestras to record - yet most people wouldn鈥檛 recognise him in the supermarket!
听
In this episode, he explains how he's penned the music - for an orchestra, no less - for the ITV show Ninja Warrior.

麻豆官网首页入口 Music Introducing in Ledbury

This month's sessions were recorded at Ledbury's Market Theatre which has quite the history...
听
It's owned by the Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society and built on the site of the old Market Theatre which used the be the only venue of its kind in Herefordshire for 18 years! That was between 1961 and 1979.
听
The old theatre almost burnt down in the '80s by an accidental fire behind the building - but the damage was repaired by young offenders.
听
Then, over 10 years later, when it was being demolished to make way for the theatre we see today, it caught fire AGAIN - which the dramatic society say could have been the poltergeist of the old building refusing to be upstaged and insisting on going out in style!
听
Nowadays, it's run entirely by volunteers and they host a range of performances from plays to state-of-the-art cinema screenings and music events.
听

Crossing Divides

Robbie Williams or Blobby Williams? Meat Loaf or Mate Loaf? Tribute band or original music?
听
Venues are booking more and more tribute acts - but where does that leave the original artists? And what do they think about each other musically?
听
We invited in Josh Terry and Tom Callinswood, from Bewdley band Arcadia Roots, to share their thoughts with Adrian Marx - the front man of Born Jovi, who'll be performing at听 the Queen Show at Hallow Village Hall on Friday, 22 March.

Features

麻豆官网首页入口 Music Introducing in Droitwich

Our next recording session takes place on the last Sunday in March at the Norbury Theatre in Droitwich.
听
The 176-seat venue, which is run by local volunteers, hosts a variety of events from plays, cinema screenings and live streaming from the West End.
听
The venue is situated inside Norbury House, an Art Deco building which started life as a luxury hotel - although it's role of putting up guests overnight was reasonably short-lived, having been used as a military hospital in WWII.
听
The Norbury Theatre came into being in 1962 for the sole purpose for local amateur societies having a venue to perform at.
听
Nowadays, they share Norbury House with 96 flats. The theatre takes up the largest area of the building, including dressing rooms on the first floor, extensive properties storage in the cellars and scenery in the old kitchens! Not forgetting, of course, the auditorium, foyer and stage!
听
The event takes place from 2pm-6pm and admission is free.
