A Herefordshire guitarist gave the performance of a lifetime, on Thursday evening, playing live at The Royal Albert Hall with jazz singer Jamie Callum for the 成人论坛 Proms.

Remi Harris, who's originally from Bromyard and now living in Tenbury Wells, has just come back from supporting Jamie at the Montreal Jazz Festival after being put forward by us here at 成人论坛 Introducing.

Remi has also performed at Buckingham Palace in the past, as well as doing live sessions for 成人论坛 Radio 2 and 3.

Viola Beach top the UK Albums Charts

Viola Beach top the UK Albums Charts

When four members of a young band, Viola Beach, and their manager were killed in a car accident earlier this year, it touched the hearts of people around the world.

Then and it propelled the band even further into the limelight.

Now the families of the band have released their debut album and it hit Number 1 in last week's Official Albums Chart.

Tonight, we hear from Loren Dakin听- the sister of the band's drummer Jack -听and Fin Reeves, brother of guitarist River, who听fondly remember their siblings.

成人论坛 Introducing at the Wychwood Festival

成人论坛 Introducing at the Wychwood Festival

For the last few years, we've been taking over one of the main stages at the Wychwood Festival, on Cheltenham Racecourse, showcasing some of the very best acts from across Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

It's a relationship that began with the seven counties that surround Gloucesteshire all putting forward their favourite acts - a competition, it seems, that we have won!

Once again, we encountered blistering heat as the sun shone down on the Prestbury Hills and welcomed five acts, to the stage, who we'll be broadcasting through July and early August.

Worcestershire anthem

Worcestershire anthem

A campaign is being launched to have Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory as Worcestershire's own anthem.

As part of this, they want you to film yourself having a go at belting it out!

The classical movement was composed in the county more than a hundred years ago.

The campaign is being supported by a number of organisations including the county's tourist board and music groups.

Our next recording session takes place from Friday 12 - Sunday 14 August at听听on Eastnor Deer Park where we'll be showcasing several acts who we've been playing on 成人论坛 Hereford & Worcester recently.

We'll bring the bands - all we need now is the fans!

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they听.
