Ryan Soul in session
From Telford to care and back again: a stunning live set from Albert's Shed in Shrewsbury from the Salopian rapper. Also, how the new Fuzzbox album is produced in Herefordshire.
Warning: This programme may contain future chart-toppers! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:
• Pub doors once stayed shut at Easter. Now Nantwich swings open - with jazz, blues and a five-day festival that fills every corner of the town. We take you back to its roots!
• Discover how Herefordshire’s Nature Of Wires have teamed up with Fuzzbox royalty, with some fierce new voices from across the county, on a boldly powerful new album.
• How do you stand out when everyone's scrolling? Find out how to cut through the noise and build a fanbase in this week’s Musicians' Masterclass.
• Hot on the heels of his BBC Radio 1 airplay, Tom Frees caught up with us at his hometown's Nantwich Jazz, Blues & Music Festival to share what it's like hearing his tracks reaching a global audience.
• You can hear from Evesham's Alistair McGowan, famous for his TV impressions, on how he transformed his passion for music into the Ludlow Piano Festival.
• In our Music News: The Staffordshire event that has raised more than £11,500 to fund free music lessons following Ed Sheeran's letter to the government, Redditch star Harry Styles appears to be following in David Bowie's footsteps by recording his new album in Berlin, and the Shropshire musician aiming to perform at 40 venues during LoopFest, raising funds for a local charity.
• It’s the last in our series from Albert’s Shed in Shrewsbury with a true Salopian story - Ryan Soul. From Telford to care and back again, his musical journey mirrors the resilience of life’s twists and turns. If you're a fan of Eminem, The Streets, Kid Cudi and Plan B - you won't want to miss this!
