I Am Not a Trend
In session
听
Their sound is a combination of British folk-music traditions and alt country with grunge and riot grrl influence.
听
But since their formation in 2018, they've played more shows in Germany than here in the UK - with more European dates lined up!
听
Funkagenda
听
The producer, who made his first beats when he was just 13 and formed his first band in secondary school, went to live in Brooklyn having picked up a Grammy Award.
听
But it wasn't all roses for Adam; he became homeless during his teenage years, sleeping on a bench on a roundabout in Kidderminster.
听
Nowadays, he runs his own record label.
听
This week, he returned home to talk to the students about how you can make a career from music.
Seven Worlds, One Planet
听
His last documentary, Blue Planet II, revealed to the world the harmful damage plastic has had on the environment.
听
Since then, large numbers of festivals have banned straws and other single use plastics.
听
This week, to coincide with the launch of the new series, we assess the environmental damage our local festivals are having - and the measures they're taking to 'leave no trace'.
Features
- In the Music News: A live music venue, in Ledbury, is banned from having live music for three months.
- In the Gig Guide:听The Drifters drift into Worcester.
麻豆官网首页入口 Music Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival
听
So far, the festival has raised more than 拢55,000 for local charities.
听
Music was hosted in pubs, clubs, cafes, bars - you name it, the whole of Worcester was taken over with the sound of new music!
听
Musicians' Masterclass
听
So we chat to a man who once drove past the Royal Albert Hall and decided to hire it out after concluding they鈥檇 never book him!
听
Step forth Steve Knightley, the songwriting force behind the multi-award winning acoustic roots duo Show of Hands.
麻豆官网首页入口 Music Introducing in Bromyard
听
If you've only ever driven through the town before, the Conquest is on what we like to call 'Nozstock Street!'.
听
The theatre has now been hosting events at its Tenbury Road location for a quarter of a century - but they'd been campaigning for a facility like this since the '50s, according to the records book.
听
Originally, events had been held in an 'old tin hut' which had been built in 1919 by the Royal British Legion.听But eventually they decided an all-singing, all-dancing venue was what the town needed.
听
We'd love to see you on the 24th - simply turn up, there's no need to book.
