To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of BBC
Introducing: Fresh On The Net we present a fortnight of outstanding new
songwriters, indie bands and electronic artists at Riverside Studios in
Hammersmith, West London from Tuesday 20th October to Sunday November
1st. All artists have been featured on the radio show and have equal
billing. All tickets are £6. Click
here for booking info.
We’ve been playing new online tunes
recommended by listeners (and/or the musicians themselves) on my BBC
Introducing radio show since October 2007. In that time we’ve given
over 3,000 artists their first national radio exposure, and the quality
of new material each week has taken even us by surprise.
Trying to choose just thirty artists plus
two favourite labels we’ve featured has been an impossible task - these
shows feature only a small cross-section of my personal favourites from
the last 24 months.
