Andrew Marston with coverage of the Upton Blues Festival

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

• It's one of the largest free-admission festivals in the region and has grown to 130 performances in three days - we're out at the Upton Blues Festival.

• It started off as a family BBQ - the people behind Herefordshire's Nozstock Festival will talk us through who's on this year's line-up.

• Nile Rodgers is on the show talking about the hits he wrote for Sister Sledge, who'll be in Bromyard next weekend.

• Catching up with one of the founding members of UB40, who now lives in Kidderminster, on the official song they've made for the Commonwealth Games.

• It's believed to the be the longest-running music festival in Europe and the oldest classical event in the world - we're talking to the organisers of Hereford's Three Choirs Festival.

• Bromsgrove's Lucy Shaw joins us ahead of her trip out to Nashville, where she'll be performing live and recording her new single.
