Phillip Stoneman sits in for Andrew Marston with the best new artists, including:

• Rounding off our coverage from last weekend's festival to end all festivals, Glastonbury, featuring Alsager's Walter Kocays performing, who says it's not easy, but it is incredibly rewarding.

• Worthy Farm isn't just about people performing, or the pyramid stage: discover how so many people from our area took part in the celebrations, and also creating and maintaining the atmosphere, including Ade Cartwright, who's from Worcester, and runs a team of 32 litter-pickers across the site.

• Find out how a piece of music made in Malvern led to one of the moments of the festival, with the ±«Óãtv News Theme unexpectedly providing the main attraction of the rave tents, courtesy of unexpected drum and bass DJ, newsreader Ros Atkins.

• Meet our ±«Óãtv Introducing Artist of the Week, from Telford - whose dreamy ambient sounds are inspired by The Wrekin - which he can see from his home studio!

• There's a huge gig guide for our area, including a massive festival clash, with events on this weekend including Britfest near Altrincham, Penkridge Open Air, Alderfest near Whitchurch and the Linton Festival near Ross-On-Wye. On stage you'll find everyone from the likes of Bonnie Tyler, Heather Small, S Club, Example, Five, and Rozalla

• Discover the Herefordshire festival, which is bringing Jools Holland's vocalist Ruby Turner to Ross-on-Wye, which has raised over £150,000 for local charities - all thanks to some expensive minibuses 15 years ago.

• Highlights from some of last weekend's huge local festivals, including Band Together in Worcester, Glastonbeoley in Redditch and a bustling Bewdley Carnival - all of which champion local performers.

• With bucketfuls of soul, an incredible live session from Kidderminster act Little George - who has music running through his veins, performing at The Hay Festival.
