Andrew Marston showcases the best new music from across our area, including line-up announcements for Sunshine and Beardy Folk Festivals, plus Robbie Williams' mum and dad join us!

Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Celebrating 15 years of the Upton Sunshine Festival as the organisers announce their final act of the summer - Bananarama.

• From writing tracks in her bedroom to penning future hits on top of a Ferris wheel, on the bus back from college and in a shopping centre - we hear from the artist behind our Shropshire Song of the Month, Becky Peters.

• Discussing the electrifying energy of live performances to the nitty-gritty of label deals, Rudimental, Sam Ryder and Maisie Peters joins us for our all-star panel in this week's Musicians' Masterclass.

• In our Music News: the latest names to be joining an all-star line-up at Ludlow Castle, this summer, including Elbow.

• Kate Rusby, The Magic Numbers and Whispering Bob Harris have been confirmed as this year's headliners at Beardy Folk Festival in Shropshire. We'll be looking at the work that goes into building a successful festival with its founder, Dave Spiers.

• Starting out as a busker to then captivating audiences around the world - hear the courageous story of Worcester's Poppy WS, our Artist of the Week.

• Robbie Williams' mum and dad are on the show - as the Stoke-born megastar celebrates his 50th birthday.

• Fresh back from their tour in the South of France, get ready for a fusion of garage rock, psychedelia and acid folk as we welcome one of Stoke-on-Trent's newest acts, The Crystal Teardrop, to our studios for this week's exclusive session.
