Becky Hill, from Bewdley, and David Guetta's new collaboration Remember has climbed to #1 on the UK's Official Trending Chart.

Remember is Becky's 12th Top 40 single and eighth Top 20, while it's producer David Guetta's 41st Top 40 hit. So far the song has been streamed 3.7 million times, in the UK alone.

Becky said it was an "honour" to work with David Guetta and David reciprocated saying: “In my opinion, Becky is becoming one of the very rare queens of dance music. She has an incredible voice and it felt so good to go back to house music for this record.”

The government has confirmed plans to ease most of the remaining coronavirus restrictions from July 19.

The one-metre-plus social distancing rule will be scrapped and wearing face coverings in shops or on public transport will become voluntary.

This could be great news for people who are still planning festival events through the summer.

Ross Powell from Hereford, better known as DJ Yogi P, runs Into The Woods at Bartestree and says: “having had this amount of time being in limbo, it’s naturally caused a lot of stress and uncertainty for us guys running these festivals, but the announcement confirming it has been a huge weight off our shoulders”.

Lynne Barker, who runs the Bromyard Folk Festival, says: “We’re still very mindful of having hygiene stations to hand wash, hand sanitise… All the infrastructure’s there, and ready, we just have to start pressing buttons now.”

The government's furlough scheme has began winding down and firms will have to pay 10% of their furloughed workers' wages.

Critics say the scheme should remain in place, in full, until all parts of the economy, including travel and hospitality, have fully opened up.

Sam Benjamin, owner of Marilyn's Nightclub in Evesham, says the furlough scheme was "a godsend... it's meant that we can help local people pay their bills and keep a roof over their heads."

He went on to say: "I don't think it's very fair to expect businesses that are running at such low capacity compared to normal to be able to support staff like they were pre-pandemic."

A Redditch musician has lost out on a gig of a lifetime after being told to self-isolate.

Lucy May Walker, from Redditch, had landed a spot in Wembley Way ahead of the England game on Wednesday busking to the thousands of fans heading to the game.

The Worcestershire singer has sold out headline shows across the UK, performed live on BBC Radio 2 and supported the likes of Tom Speight, Lucy Spraggan and Wet Wet Wet.

But she’s not been deterred - as later that night - her song ‘Gold’ was played on ITV’s hit show Love Island.
