In session
The Loved & Lost are a five-piece, female fronted, hard rock band from Worcester and Bromsgrove performing a mix of their own material and covers.

They say: "We believe that no matter how good we are, get, or are not, people won't have fun unless we do, so we always have a ton of energy and use every last drop on stage."

When they're not writing or performing, they're out enjoying shows and festivals.

James Bond soundtrack

James Bond soundtrack
The new James Bond movie is out on Monday - but the new Bond theme has already divided opinion.

Writing's On The Wall, by Sam Smith, became the first song to make it to number one.

Tonight, we hear from Tommy Pearson - a film music expert from Worcester - who's not convinced it's a classic.

Becky Hill

Becky Hill
On 22 April 2011, we gave the first-ever airplay to an unknown artist in Bewdley by the name of Becky Hill.

Back then, she was writing and performing tracks with a band called Shaking Trees.

Over those next few months, we forwarded three of her best singles onto Huw Stephens and Tom Robinson and invited her band to perform a live session with us at Nozstock.

Just one year later, Becky landed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appear on BBC One in a new show called The Voice.

Although she didn't win it, Becky became the first artist, to have appeared on the TV talent show, to achieve a number one record.

She's since teamed up with several high profile producers and is regularly performing gigs all over the world.

Last week, she said the money was in touring - so tonight we hear where her travels have taken her.

BBC Introducing: The Worcester Music Festival

BBC Introducing: The Worcester Music Festival
This month's sessions were recorded at Drummonds as part of this year's Worcester Music Festival.

The event has been compared to a local version of SXSW with several pubs and clubs around the city hosting live music with song-writing workshops also taking place during the weekend.

It was founded in 2008 by Chris Bennion who makes Worcestershire Sauce who wanted his area to be known for more than just Lea & Perrins.

BBC Introducing in Bromyard

BBC Introducing in Bromyard
BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians from Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our two counties.


On Sunday 15 November, we'll be rolling up to the Conquest Theatre in Bromyard to record several acts who we've been playing on BBC Hereford & Worcester recently.

We'll bring the bands - all we need now - is the fans! 

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded to us.

So if you'd like to Be Part Of It then simply turn up on the day - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music! 

Doors open at 2pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up anytime until 6pm.
