In session

This week's live session comes from a group of Golden Valley musicians, but the styles of music they incorporate stretch far beyond the county.
Μύ
Slippery Slope's influences range from classic French accordion to stomping Klezmer, Irish folk and music from the Balkans.
Μύ
The four piece acoustic band's line up features accordion, fiddle, guitar and Trinidadian steel pan.
Μύ
They have have performed at Glastonbury, Shambala, Boomtown, Nozstock and HowTheLightGetsIn.
Μύ
"Catchy and topical originals perfectly blended with a traditional feel" - Andrew Marston.
Μύ

Cruise ships

How do you fancy living a life of luxury - being fed, watered and put up in some incredible accommodation while touring the world, playing music and getting paid for it?
Μύ
That's exactly what Worcester musician Jasper Malone has been doing, having performed more than 500 gigs on board the Pacific Jewel cruise liner, last year, and on a variety of ships these last couple of months.
Μύ
In recent years, his band, Jasper in the Company of Others, has shared the stage with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ben Howard, Ed Sheeran, Cast and Toploader.

Features

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Introducing in Bromyard

This month's sessions come from the Conquest Threatre in Bromyard.
Μύ
If you've only ever driven through the town before, the venue is on what we like to call 'Nozstock Street!'.
Μύ
The theatre has now been hosting events at its Tenbury Road location for a quarter of a century - but they'd been campaigning for a facility like this since the '50s, according to the records book.
Μύ
Originally, events had been held in an 'old tin hut' which had been built in 1919 by the Royal British Legion. But eventually they decided an all-singing, all-dancing venue was what the town needed.

Malvern Winter Gardens

Malvern is well known for its classical connections, but many people are unaware of the town's other musical story.
Μύ
From the early '60s, for a period of around 30 years, Malvern Winter Gardens rocked to the sounds of bands such The Jam, The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Hawkwind and many more, some of whom were in their infancy at the time.
Μύ
Local charity Rock Around the Hills created an interactive exhibition, thanks to a Β£60,000 grant, celebrating the story of rock, punk and progressive rock at the Winter Gardens from 1961 to 1990.
Μύ
The display features more than 400 posters, tickets, flyers and fanzines, as well as recorded memories from audience members, musicians and promoters who were all part of the scene.
Μύ
Having already been at Malvern Library and the Hive in Worcester, the exhibition has now moved to the airwaves - and we're broadcasting some of those memories every Sunday, from 6pm, here on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Hereford & Worcester.

The live music advent calendar

Throughout the whole of December, we're dedicating the second hour of our shows to live music.
Μύ
We won't be playing a single CD, MP3, tape or vinyl - because we're giving you the music you won't be able to get anywhere else on the planet!
Μύ
This month, hear tracks performed at the Worcester Music Festival, Ledbury's Market Theatre, Kidderminster College, Gordon Bennett's in Hereford, Malvern Cube, The Railway in Redditch, Lakefest at Eastnor Castle, The Norbury Theatre in Droitwich, The Hay Festival, HopFest near Bewdley, the Conquest in Bromyard and at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Maida Vale.
