Before She CallsÌýis a newly formed duo based in Bromsgrove.
Ìý
Influenced by Drake, The Weeknd, Michael Bublé and Wretch 32, Harry Hudson and Matt Owen say: "We're trying to create our own unique style and sound within RnB and modern music."
Ìý
Andrew Marston describes them as "RnB and soul delivered with a slick live show that is of top drawer quality."

Composing music

Composing music

Last week, we started a brand new series with one of the most successful and prolific songwriters we have in our area.
Ìý

Paul Farrer might not be a name you're familiar with, but you'll certainly be familiar with his work - having composed the music to The Weakest Link, Dancing On Ice and The Chase.
Ìý
More recently he's been downsizing his West Malvern studio, enabling him to work from anywhere - a move that has also helped him replace synthesisers for real instruments; he's recently started conducting large orchestras!
Ìý
So, just how do you find song-writing inspiration when your job depends on it - and how do you go about recording those instruments to showcase to the world? We'll find out as we break down some of those themes, which are so instilled into our minds, over these coming weeks.

Music therapy

Music therapy

Sometimes listening to a particular piece of music can bring back memories and it's hoped that particular effect can help those suffering from dementia.
Ìý

A joint initiative between the University of Worcester and the Alzheimer's Society has invited professional musicians into its meeting centres, to see if live performance can help sufferers and their families.
Ìý
The project has just two centres in the UK; in Leominster and in Droitwich.
