In session
BBC Introducing band Vaults, whose lead singer Blythe Pepino is from Hereford, were behind that sensational rework of One Day I'll Fly Away by Randy Crawford for the John Lewis Christmas 2016 advert.
The synth-pop trio first uploaded their music to us in early September 2013 going on to play at the BBC Music Introducing and PRS for Music Foundation CMJ showcase in New York and in the iconic Maida Vale studios.
Hear four stunning live tracks on this week's show along with their chat to Huw Stephens and Dermot O'Leary.
SXSW
SXSW is the leading new music festival on the planet.
The music industry looks to it as a litmus test for emerging artists, but with just under 2000 names on the bill: how do you uncover the real gems?
Luckily BBC Introducing has a track record of championing future stars - acts such as Jack Garratt, Florance + The Machine and Royal Blood have played our showcase there before.
Track of the Week
Our BBC Introducing Track of the Week comes a group who were on the BBC Radio 1 playlist last week.
Riscas, who are split between Bromsgrove and Birmingham, formed only last year as part of a college course - sent their music into us - and ended up with national airplay as a result.
Features
- In the gig guide: The Searches & Georgie Fame visit Worcestershire.
- In the news: Groove Armada & The Charlatans are heading to Herefordshire.
New album
A 14-year-old singer from Worcester has released her debut album this week - and it's already been at #16 in the iTunes charts.
Tazmin Barnes grew up in China and was the lead singer of a band that played all over Beijing.
Whilst in China, she modelled for brands such as Disney and has performed at a number of local festivals.
Anti-bullying
The Diana Awards Anti Bullying Campaign have endorsed a song written by a Bromsgrove couple.
As the parents of two teenagers, Sally and Daniel Trigger were horrified to see a number of viral videos, on social media, of people being bullied.
They hope their new single - Reach Out - will not only help to raise money for the charity but encourage people to get in touch if they feel victimised.
BBC Introducing in Bewdley
Since 2005, we've broadcast nearly 1,000 sessions, helping to showcase some of our area's most talented musicians to a massive audience.
Some of our recent highlights include Leominster’s AKA George at Glastonbury, Bromyard’s Remi Harris at the Montreal Jazz Festival and Hay-on-Wye’s Cherryshoes at T In The Park.
We’ve handpicked some of our favourite acts to join us on stage at our next big event, which takes place on Sunday 26 March at St George's Hall in Bewdley.
These artists didn't even know they were being considered - and we hope this inspires people to keep sending in their music, because we really do listen to everything!
Admission is free and we'd love to see you anytime between 7pm and 11pm.
