Live music in Herefordshire & Worcestershire

Live music in Herefordshire & Worcestershire
For the ninth year running, throughout the whole of December and continuing into the new year, we won't be playing a single CD, MP3, tape or vinyl - because we're giving you the music you won't be able to get anywhere else on the planet.

In 2013, we continued to take the show on-the-road to some of the biggest events and most happening places in the two counties.

None of these artists knew they were being considered for these opportunities - they were chosen based on the tracks they sent into the .

This week, hear some of the performances we recorded at.

Dave Onions' 成人论坛 Introducing session
This week's live session comes from Kidderminster's Dave Onions - who runs the open mic nights at Bewdley's Cock & Magpie.

We struggled to put into words the mind-blowing complexity of Dave's work - so instead, we'll let Jim Lowe introduce him: "Like many others, I suspect I have a bit of a stereotype in my head of what mandolin playing should sound like - kind of gentle and folky, maybe, but check out this piece of playing from Dave Onions and have these pre-conceptions blown away!"

It was the final town in Worcestershire we'd not visited since we started taking the show out on-the-road in 2001 - so it was time to change all that!

On a cold, dark, autumn Sunday night at the end of November, we rolled up next to Pershore railway station to record at Tower Studios - who've just completed a 48-hour "drumathon" for charity.

The five acts on stage blew us away - so be prepared for some top tunes as we head you through the festive season!

Make some noise!

Make some noise!
For the last three weeks, we've been finding out - how loud is too loud?

We're told anything over 100dB is likely to cause permanent ear damage - but just how loud is that?

We teamed up with the for a band vs hearing sound-off!

But just how can you protect your ears - without compromising your enjoyment of sound?
