成人快手 Introducing in Pershore

It was the final town in Worcestershire we'd not visited since we started taking the show out on-the-road in 2001 - so it was time to change all that!

On a cold, dark, autumn Sunday night at the end of November, we rolled up next to Pershore railway station to record at Tower Studios - who've just completed a 48-hour "drumathon" for charity.

The five acts on stage blew us away - so be prepared for some top tunes as we head you through the festive season!

More live music!

Gino Kemp is a 15-year-old singer/songwriter from Leominster.

He's been playing a variety of instruments since he was five-years-old and has recently been performing at a number of open mic nights around Herefordshire.

He's mainly been performing covers - but with his own spin on the tracks.

Tonight we'll bring you highlights from his set at our 成人快手 Introducing Recording Session in Kington.

成人快手 Introducing in Kington

成人快手 Introducing in Kington
It's one of the least populated towns in Herefordshire (according to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,597) yet has produced gems like and - who wrote his album Hergest Ridge on, errrr, Hergest Ridge.

For the last two years we've been taking the 成人快手 Introducing Recording Roadshow out-and-about - and this was the last town in Herefordshire we've not yet visited.

When we rolled up at the Oxford Arms we were promised the biggest storm of the decade - which has been a general theme of our recording sessions this year - but luckily it came to nothing!听

Make some noise!

Make some noise!
So, just how loud is too loud?

We're told anything over 100dB is likely to cause perminent ear damage - but just how loud is that?

For three weeks, we're teaming up with the Worcester Hearing Centre for a band v hearing sound-off!

How can you protect your ears - without compromising your enjoyment of sound?

We'll find out...

Invited to Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff were Hereford's , Kidderminster's and man-of-many-Worcester-bands .

We also heard from successful artists about their own musical journeys. Our special guests included Ben Howard, Aluna George, Wretch 32, Devlin, Angel, Japanese Popstars, Phil Kieran, Badly Drawn Boy and the Manic Street Preachers.

This week we find out if advertising really does pay if you're in a band.
