Wychwood Festivals announces BBC Introducing Stageshowcasing acts from the the 6 counties that border GloucestershireWednesday 14th April 2010 Wychwood Festival has announced that the third stage at this year's family friendly event will be partnered with BBC Introducing to provide a unique platform for emerging artists at the festival.

I can't think of a better opportunity, not only for our up and coming artists in Gloucestershire, but for those in the wider area. Wychwood is a big deal for local bands here, it represents a major achievement to play at such a prestigious, vibrant and eclectic festival and I can't wait to be there!" The 70 bands selected by each region are broken down by BBC region as follows: BBC Hereford & Worcester Introducing
