Introducing the best local music

The Shackletons visited BBC Coventry & Warwickshire earlier this year

BBC Coventry & Warwickshire Introducing is a weekly show dedicated to playing the music of our local artists.

Introducing showcases the best talent and is part of a national network of BBC programmes that tap into new music.

You can hear the latest tunes from our Band of the Month plus live sessions, interviews and the latest gig news.

Martin Winch presents the show every Thursday and Saturday (2000-2100) and it is made available on the BBC iPlayer too.
