Andrew Marston on the easing of lockdown restrictions

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from across the region.

• An update on this year's summer festivals, including WooFest, near Upton, which is hosting another Comic Relief-type event.

• Hearing the venues angry about the lack of support from the Cultural Recovery Fund as only 20 nightclubs, out of 2700 applicants, received help.

• As lockdown restrictions have a trim, we head to a Stourport music venue which is now offering haircuts to make (split) ends meet.

• While live performances haven't been able to put food on the table, in our Musicians' Masterclass, we look at other ways your tunes can generate money.

• John Hellings remembers the local band that toured all over the world, including a surprising connection to panel show legend Humphrey Littleton.

• One of the best folk acts we've discovered - meeting the Kidderminster band that are spread across four countries and regularly gig abroad.

• This week's studio blog takes us to a brand new facility in North Worcestershire, born out of lockdown.

• The latest on the Roadmap to Recovery and what that means for local gigs.
