Harry Styles: Small town, big sound

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

• From local beginnings to global stages, Harry Styles talks about the album that’s taken him from Redditch to Holmes Chapel and beyond.

• Not every artist can say they’re mates with their idols. Telford’s Lou can. He’s written songs with McFly, pulled off surprises for Yungblud fans and now returns with fresh music after six months away.

• From statue to stage. Nine months after thousands packed the square in Burslem to honour Lemmy Kilmister, the town is striking another chord with a free music festival celebrating the man who put it on the rock map.

• In our Musicians’ Masterclass: Albrighton’s Nieve Ella and vocal coach Lorna Blackwood answer artists’ questions on finding your own vocal style and knowing when a song simply is not right for your voice.

• Get Your Kicks on the A456! That’s the title of a new book charting North Worcestershire’s music scene, and we're hearing from Bewdley musician Rich Morley about reviving the series and telling the latest chapter of Wyre Forest sound.

• Staffordshire is heading to Creamfields. Biddulph DJ Jordan Tilstone is on the line-up, and Stafford duo In Parallel are there too. We hear how a set at Gladstone Pottery helped fire up a huge summer.

• From CBBC to prime-time drama soundtracks, Holly Riva’s voice has been everywhere. Now the Albrighton singer joins us to share how a song popping up on TV sparked messages from fans around the world.

• In our Music News: An Iranian musician, who moved to Shrewsbury, talks about life in Tehran, Stoke-on-Trent's Robbie Williams pays tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the BRIT Awards, and Show of Hands' Steve Knightley is heading to Worcester on Wednesday.

• 25 years of headbanging, history, and heavy riffs - join us as the creators of Bloodstock share the stories behind the festival.
