Year of the Lion in session
A first-ever live gig for a Worcester and Stoke duo who've toured the world with Scouting For Girls, Busted and The 1975 - plus the Telford teachers taking their music to America.
CAUTION: THIS SHOW CONTAINS FUTURE STARS! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music, live from the Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre, including:
• Discovering the secrets to songwriting with musician, from our area, who's just been nominated for a Grammy. But it's not been all sunshine and roses for Bromsgrove-born super-producer Ellis, who's spent years dealing with crippling anxiety and self-doubt.
• A similar story from Dave McCabe of The Zutons, performing at Keele University this week, who says their big hit single Valerie has been as much as a curse as it has been a blessing for the band.
• After six years away from music, this week's First Play comes from Telford's Cait Jones who's back stronger than ever with a fresh, guitar-driven sound that nods to iconic influences like Bruce Springsteen and Kings of Leon.
• In this week's Musicians' Masterclass - we look at how to make money as an artist and ways to attack and dominate the live music scene.
• The Telford teachers who are jetting off stateside after their Luke Combs show is quite literally taking off.
• In your Music News: The Live at Ludlow Castle line-up is shaping up for its third year with Faithless and The Script being announced, Gary Barlow will return to his Cheshire roots as part of a newly announced solo tour, two young actors from Herefordshire and Worcestershire are starring in the big screen version of Wicked!
• Celebrating the music of Worcestershire's Katherine Priddy, teaming up with Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Richard Walters, who performed live on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Loose Ends.
• Stoke-on-Trent’s Six Town Sound takes national glory, bound for Europe in 2025!
• They've worked with Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, The 1975, Backstreet Boys, The Ting Tings, Blink 182, Panic! At The Disco, Scouting For Girls, The National, Busted - hear the first-ever gig for the Worcester and Stoke duo Year Of The Lion, as performed on our Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing stage at the Worcester Christmas Lights weekend.
