• We unlock the power of concentration with 'AutoFocus', a ground-breaking album meticulously crafted by a renowned sound therapist from Herefordshire, Lyz Cooper.

• In our Music News: The latest on the campaign to reduce pollution in the River Wye, being led by former frontman of The Undertones, Feargal Sharkey.

• We're revealing the line-up for Alderfest, in Whitchurch, featuring S Club, Atomic Kitten & Boyzlife.

• A Newcastle-under-Lyme visit from "Whispering" Bob Harris on the songs the Beatles DIDN'T release!
