Andrew Marston introduces Wyynona Ryyder (Hereford)

Wyynona Ryyder are a lo-fi, indie, alternative band from Hereford.
 
Many of their members have played in bands together before - including Apples, who gained airplay on one of John Peel's last ever Radio 1 shows.

Before that, they enjoyed life as Brandon Steep - continuously touring the Midlands and the South West.
 
All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005...

The First World War may no longer be living history but it remains an important part of our past to which many of us still feel a close connection.
 
Tomorrow, thousands of people across the world people will wear the poppy, attend remembrance services and pause for the two minutes' silence.
 
Well, one Worcester band has decided to release a single to honour those who served in the war.
 
Tonight we'll hear from Mumbo-Jumbo together with a live performance of their track Those Frail Few.

Aimee Walsh asks this week's question - are you ever too old to be in the music industry?
 
Mott The Hoople's Verden Allen hopes not, Nigel Clark from Dodgy thinks so, Scott Garrett from MAS Records says it all depends on what music you're writing, Martin Chambers of The Pretenders says it doesn't matter as long as you're passionate about your instrument and tour manager Tom Oliver says if you're told that, try targeting another country!

This week, Andy O'Hare reviews...

• I Am Ryan's last ever gig @ The Amber Cafe, Evesham
• Bren Haze @ The Beer In Hand, Hereford
• Vault Of Eagles @ Kidderminster Town Hall

'The Greatest Metal Vocalist Of All Time' and 'The Greatest Voice In Rock' are just some of the comments used to describe Kidderminster's very own Robert Plant.
 
Since 1968, Robert's been best known for his work with Led Zeppelin - but played regularly around his hometown before that as The Band Of Joy.
 
He's recently launched the solo album 'Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar' and popped in to chat to Jools Holland and play live with his band The Sensational Space Shifters on BBC 2.
 
More interviews...

A poll carried out for BBC Local Radio has discovered that two thirds of people play music to help them feel better when they're ill.
 
It's also used as a therapy for a number of medical conditions.
 
Cecelia, who lives in Hereford, grew up near the West End in London and her love of musicals is apparent.
 
She sings with a group in the city every fortnight which alleviates some symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
 
We also hear from the choir at Worcestershire Royal Hospital which is helping people who have breathing conditions.

• This week, local girl Toyah Wilcox from Evesham is putting on an intimate show in her home county - the details of that and other live music events around here coming up in the gig guide.
• In the local music news, some lovely national coverage for a hard working Worcester band and some Hollywood acting gigs for another local frontman.
