Andrew Marston looks ahead to our summer festivals

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

• Details of this year's summer festivals as Tom Jones announces he'll be at this year's Lakefest, near Ledbury.

• Meeting the Hereford band that met while working as bouncers on the door of the city's biggest nightclub.

• We'll look at the Roadmap to Recovery, what that means for local musicians and what's in this week's gig guide.

• In our Chart Blog, Olly Alexander - who studied at Hereford College of Arts - decides to go solo with Years & Years.

• While live performances haven't been able to put food on the table, in our Musicians' Masterclass, we look at other ways your tunes can generate money.

• In our Collaborator Generator, find out how Nicki Minaj & Ariana Grande-inspired Chantelle Bayliss, from Worcester got on with award-winning video producer and performer Reuben Buffong, from Redditch.
