Lucy Angus has been writing songs since she bought her first guitar off a friend at the age of 14, and then taught herself how to play.
Ìý
Alongside busking and performing in school concerts, she says she's learned from - and performed to - some of the best in Broadway, with workshops in New York.
Ìý
Her first recording was thanks to an 18th birthday present - to visit a local recording studio - a track which led to us booking her to perform on our Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Music Introducing stage at Hopfest near Bewdley.
Ìý
"Beautifully delicate melodies delivered with intricacy and charm" - Andrew Marston.
Highlights: Upton Blues Festival
Ìý
Upton Blues has grown from a small gathering in a couple of pubs into a event that swamps the town with many thousands of music fans, two main stages, an acoustic stage and ten pubs creating more than 130 performances in three days.
Ìý
Following independent research commissioned by Malvern Hills District Council, the festival is said to contribute more than £800,000 to the local economy every year.
Ìý
But did you know the festival also raises money to help fund musical education in schools across the Midlands?
Ìý
They also supply some of those schools with unwanted instruments, donated by festival goers and musicians alike.
