Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including: • We're live from Herefordshire's biggest festival. Join us as we take you backstage at Lakefest, bringing you the stories, the atmosphere and meeting the people who make it happen at Eastnor Castle Deer Park. • We’re celebrating 25 years of Bloodstock as Lemmy’s ashes make their annual pilgrimage to the festival. We hear why his legacy still means so much to heavy metal fans around the world. • In our Festival Guide: Details of the Wye Float River & Music Festival in Hereford, Down On The Farm in the Golden Valley of Herefordshire, Deva Fest at Cholmondeley Castle in South Cheshire, Farmer Phil's Festival at Rattlinghope near Church Stretton and WychFest in Droitwich. • From Albrighton to the national stage. We look at Nieve Ella's incredible BBC Introducing journey, her upcoming debut album and why her music connects with so many people. • In the Music News: The extreme steps our area's biggest shows are taking in the heatwave and drought, plus advice from The Undertones' Billy Doherty and soul music legend Jazzie B. • Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles proved what’s possible, but many visually impaired artists still face barriers getting into the music industry. We’re in Hereford meeting the people behind a project that’s helping break those barriers and Making A Difference. • Theatres, nightclubs, open-air stages... they’re all familiar places for live music, but this weekend the spotlight shines on a supermarket in Cheshire as shoppers become festival-goers. • From writing songs in their mum’s shed to sharing a stage with Rick Astley. Ross-on-Wye four-piece Pentire have become one of our BBC Introducing success stories, and they join us Live at Ludlow Castle. Upload your tracks now: bbc.co.uk/introducing
