Caution: This show may contain future stars! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including: • Worcester Music Festival is back, and we’re heading into the heart of the city to discover some of the 350-plus performances taking place across 25 venues this weekend. • What happens when we let chart-topping Sam Smith loose with the BBC Introducing uploader? We meet the Staffordshire musician now being offered the opportunity of a lifetime. • In our Music News: A Malvern musician wins two National Television Awards, the Stoke act playing our BBC Make A Difference Awards night and hundreds of nominees are announced for next month's Shropshire Music Awards. • From devastating fire to festival founder. We meet 83-year-old John Knight, whose own life-changing experience inspired him to launch a brand new festival in Church Stretton next weekend. • The artists may get the applause, but before they arrive there’s a huge job to do. We’re at Bromyard Folk Festival with the team turning an empty field into a four-day celebration of live music. • In our Festival Guide: Details of this weekend's Worcester Music Festival, Bromyard Folk Festival and HealFest in Shrewsbury. • From rapper and lyricist to producer, Shropshire’s Prod.
