Andrew Marston with highlights from Truefest, KEMPfest and Sunrise Celebration
Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
鈥� Highlights from Truefest at Baskerville Hall, near Hay, which began after the organiser鈥檚 birthday party got seriously out-of-hand!
鈥� Hearing from The Wanted and Sweet Female Attitude as the first-ever KEMPfest took place in Stourport.
鈥� We hear a lot about talent competitions - but should you enter them? We get the lowdown on tonight's show.
鈥� Coverage from last weekend鈥檚 Sunrise Celebration which has made Herefordshire its permanent home.
鈥� Live music from the politically challenging and very amusing Muddy Summers & The DFWs, from Ross-on-Wye, as performed at the Malvern Cube.

Highlights: Sunrise Celebration, Pontrilas between Hereford & Abergavenny
听
Despite two successful events in 2006 and 2007 (boasting 6,000 - 8,000 festival-goers), it's reported the company lost around a 拢250,000 in its formative period and closed as a result.
听
They then teamed up with the now-defunct Big Chill and relaunched the festival later that year with 12,000 in attendance - although that figure was just 5,000 the following year.
听
The project eventually got taken over by the Natural Communities Community Interest Company, a not-for-profit organisation that raises funds for environmental and educational projects.
听
The event grew to 7,500 in 2010 and 9,000 in 2011 - picking up a number of awards along the way.
听
Over the next few years, it would move from Somerset to Wiltshire, Chepstow before being bought by its present owners who live at Pontrilas in Herefordshire.
Highlights: Truefest nr Hay-on-Wye
听
It鈥檚 billed as the 鈥榰ltimate house party鈥� with more than 65 acts, 5 stages, a sauna, swimming pool and real toilets!
Highlights: KEMPfest, Stourport
听
Kemp Hospice was founded in 1969 and it costs 拢1.5m a year to provide free-of-charge care to patients and their families.
听
Taking place at SHED Food & Drink in Crossway Green, near Stourport, the event coincided with the charity鈥檚 50th anniversary.

Together, they have the most wonderful biography that reads: "The musical melange draws in left-bank swing, Balkan gypsy dreamscape, jazz waltz fusion and cowgirl reggae-hop all bound together with sentient political verse with a razor edge that feels no need to growl before it bites."
听
At the front of all this is the ironic mellifluous voice of Gail Something Else, a vocal that resonates with tones of Dusty Springfield meeting Hazel O'Connor with a heap of warm gravel thrown in for good measure.
听
Their influences include politicians, rich folk, racism, sexism, fascism, homophobia, religion, royalty, life and death.
