James Revitt in session

We're celebrating Record Store Day in Leominster and live music from Shrewsbury musician-come-bus driver, James Revitt, who steers his way from Albert's Shed up the UK Club Charts.

Caution: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• We’re celebrating Record Store Day by visiting the Leominster shop where you can pop in for the latest Taylor Swift record… and come out with a mortgage!

• They’re one of just 400 Record Store Day releases - but Droitwich’s Heronimus Fin once made a record so controversial it was pulled, destroyed… and is now worth more than most A-listers on Discogs. You can find out why on this week's show!

• No budget? No problem! Learn the secret to success online, as TikTok insiders share how talent and strategy flourish, in this week's Musicians’ Masterclass.

• From Biddulph to big stages, hear the unusual story of how Rebelyous is rewriting the rulebook on the ways to get into music.

• Music didn’t just save Stoke-on-Trent's Micky Stardust - it gave him a reason to keep going. This week's Story Behind The Song focusses on the extraordinary 'Over' - proof that when life hits its lowest note, music can still drop the biggest chorus.

• In our Music News: We hear from two Cheshire musicians who are celebrating after their latest singles have ended up in various charts, a memorial concert in Shrewsbury for one of the four teenagers who died in a crash in North Wales, and talking to the Malvern musician who's taught the King how to play... a carrot!

• From bus routes to basslines, all aboard for this week's live session as Shrewsbury musician-come-bus driver James Revit steers his way from Albert's Shed up the UK Club Charts.
