• Soaking up the atmosphere at Brinton Park, in Kidderminster, celebrating the Platinum Jubilee with non-stop music.

• Our Festival Guide looks ahead to the busiest June in three years.

• How performing at an open mic night in India led to a career in playing major festivals for Herefordshire's Undercover Hippy.

• They'll have just seven days to rework each other's songs; who will we musically matchmake in this week's Cover Roulette?
