Bewdley's Molly Ann showcases a unique blend of vocals, piano, 'electronics' and strings together with a love for strong melodies.

She's influenced by fellow 成人论坛 Introducing discoveries such as Florence + The Machine, Gabriella Aplin, Rae Morris and Herefordshire's Ellie Goulding.

We loved her music so much, we passed it on to Mark Forrest who played it on the Best of 成人论坛 Introducing across all 40 Local Radio stations听in Britain.

The committee have arranged a local alternative camp site which we can use if their usual one is flooded.

This is at Brickwalls Barn Camp Site, Gilberts End, a pleasant rural site about three miles outside Upton and well away from any potential floods.听

If they have to use this site, they'll be putting on a free shuttle service to the festival.

成人论坛 Introducing in Hereford

Throughout May, all of our live sessions were performed in the studio - the Studio Theatre at The Courtyard in Hereford, that is!

As well as regular music nights in both there and the Main House, the centre is home to the Music Pool charity and hosts regular Jazz Cafe events in the bar area along with various open mic nights.

The glass-fronted building, on Edgar Street, officially opened in 1998 on the site of its predecessor and before that it used to be a swimming pool!

How To Make It In The Music Industry: The Boomtown Rats
We started off the year with a brand new series of 'How To Make It In The Music Industry' with Hereford's Sean Denny, who runs his own record label at Sony Records in London.

This week, we continue to talk you through the whole signing process with a case study that is right on our doorstep.

Garrick Roberts is the guitarist and founding member of the Boomtown Rats and lives in Bromyard.

It's taken us three years to persuade him to give away his secrets of how his band attracted the attention of managers, record labels and studio producers - and how they insisted the band retained full creative control of their music.听
