Andrew Marston introduces SubLixx (Ledbury)

Ledbury's Cevan Price made his first simple melody on a keyboard when he was a child.
 
He learned to play a recorder and a couple of years later, a guitar.
 
During his teens, he became obsessed by the grunge scene - joining two bands at school.
 
He eventually started listening to acts such as Josh Wink, The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers after hearing them at a festival.
 
An 'off-the-wall' music teacher then taught him how to create music using midi, synthesisers and drum machines.
 
In 2002, he started working in a guitar shop and met so many musicians he would never have to rely on a factory-made sample pack ever again!
 
When not producing tracks under the pseudonym of Sublixx, Cevan helps those with psychological and physical illnesses.

A Worcester photographer is offering an opportunity to local musicians to have their portraits taken for free.
 
Joe Singh, who used to do all of our session snaps here at BBC Hereford & Worcester, is looking for subjects to photograph for an exhibition he's putting on.
 
He's looking for people from all walks of life to capture in print - which is a relatively new venture for Joe - and is looking to spend some time honing his craft with willing participants.

This week, Andy O'Hare bring his reviews from the Bromyard Folk Festival. This year, they promise over 170 hours of entertainment in just one weekend of traditional music, song and dance. He'll be talking about:

• Unknown First, The Vectors & Black Russian at The Boar's Head in Kidderminster.
• Claire Perkins, Aulos, The Apocalypse & Bren Haze at The Jailhouse in Hereford.
• Pat Heslip, Foxtail Soup & Granny's Attic at The Farrier's Arms in Worcester.

Anyone in the two counties who's got an old or unwanted musical instrument is being asked to gift them to Oxfam - as part of the country's biggest-ever 'instrument amnesty'.
 
The unwanted instruments will be given a new lease of life and passed on the next generation of musicians.
 
The project is being turned into a Channel 4 series - Don't Stop the Music - which follows the internationally-renowned classical pianist James Rhodes.
 
To take part, you can drop off the instruments at Oxfam Worcester Book and Music, near the Elgar Statue in the High Street.
