Hattie Rose in session

Warning: This show may contain future chart-toppers! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Once filled with hymns, how set for headline acts. A historic church in Kidderminster is reopening as a live music venue, and we’ve had a first look ahead of a free festival-style launch this weekend.

• Legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold joins us ahead of a charity club night at Keele University, celebrating the life and legacy of Stoke-on-Trent’s Danny Stubbs.

• From writing songs at school to catching the ear of a hitmaker… an 18-year-old from Staffordshire, studying at Telford College, is now working with Guy Chambers, whose hits with Robbie Williams helped define an era of British pop.

• In our Musicians' Masterclass: How one placement can be worth more than years of streaming. We're diving into the world of syncs.

• From Tamworth open mics to Sao Paulo heat and Rio atmosphere… Jayler’s journey is already playing out like a globe-trotting rock epic.

• In the Music News: From Jimi Hendrix to Fleetwood Mac, he played in them all. We hear tributes to Worcester-born musician Dave Mason, best known as founding member of Traffic, who's died aged 79.

• As part of Comic Relief’s 24-hour Dart-a-thon, we took over the Telford Centre, inviting various musicians to take part in the challenge and record a live session with us. From Shrewsbury Folk Festival to BBC Introducing support, Ellesmere's Harriet Rose brings her journey full circle with a special late night performance.
