Nimbus Records, which is based on the Herefordshire/Welsh border, has been chosen as one of 10 companies to award a lucky apprentice a golden ticket to work in the music industry.

The BRIT Awards has launched a scheme for youngsters to learn all aspects of music, including practical ‘hands on’ experience while earning a £15,000 salary to kick start their career.

We've been for a look behind-the-scenes to see how they're transitioning into the digital age.

The interviews you may have missed on the radio

This week, we hear from the Herefordshire duo Mice in a Matchbox, who've spent the last few years floating across the globe, dropping anchor and playing shows wherever the wind takes them!

Singer/songwriter Sally Stamford, from Kington, and guitarist/vocalist Jim Rolt, from Bromyard, are currently at Bequia, in the Carribean, having sailed across the Atlantic in their boat Chaos.

Most of their practicing is done at sea and in various anchorages.

Danni Hunt's list of live music from local musicians

This week, with us celebrating International Women's Day, we hear part two of our chat with Kidderminster rock god Robert Plant.

The Led Zep frontman has been talking about the inspiration he's taken from Chrissie Hynde, Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin.

The People's History of Pop

Philip Thomas Barber writes haunting, alternative folk songs about depression, flawed relationships and the games people play.

He's been compared to Ben Howard and Passenger, although his influences include Arcade Fire, Kings Of Leon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Rolling Stones and Joe Cocker.

He's recently moved from Leominster to Malvern and has put together Saint Alto.

All of our studio and festival sessions since 2005

In the gig guide: Russell Watson is at Malvern Theatres.
In the news: The award ceremony for local musicians.

Our next recording session will take place on Sunday, 25 March in Kington.

We're bringing along handpicked musicians from Herefordshire and Worcestershire to record their live sessions for broadcast.

They've all uploaded their tracks to the BBC Music Introducing Uploader - but didn't know they were being considered for this incredible opportunity.

The free event takes place at the Oxford Arms and the live music starts at 2pm.
