Ok - The End of Camden Gig is Nigh - Radio Support
Howdy,
All in all not a bad evening last night but I have important things to talk about. Namely getting you wonderful people playing. I'm all excited again at the prospect of putting on a gig using Vox people. There have been loads of suggestions regarding this on mine and the most recent Columbia post (thanks to those that have contributed so far).
So, KEEP SATURDAY 1st DECEMBER FREE!!!! Yes that's right. I GOT THE DATE WRONG AGAIN! It's actually the 1st of December. I fancy a big night out and getting some great film of the bands. It's going to be a free night with 4 bands. How often does that happen eh? Those who contributed to the flyers a month or so ago, I NEED YOU AGAIN. To that photographer bloke who contacted me, please contact again. I get so many emails it's been lost in the deluge of recent emails (I've still got about 90 to get through)
So who's playing that night? Well so far I've asked the below. But as I've just found out the date is different I've had to ask them again. Nob.
I really like the above bands and have a list of loads of others I want to see. So it's going to be good fun.
I haven't thought of a format for the evening other than loud music and filming. I might try and get a compare. Any takers? Either pretty or funny and can engage a crowd for a couple of minutes at a time. :-)
We Got Radio!
I was speaking to a chap called Phil that Marc introduced me to today who has a regional new music radio show and wants me to contribute talent from here for broadcast. Possibly recording my own slot/introductions. It's an community FM station. There's about 150 similar community radio stations around the country. So if I can get something going there I'm going to try punting the same thing to other reigons. I've been thinking about doing a new music podcast for a while (hence the night in Camden). I've got a mate who I think I could do it with so we'll see how it goes.
I'm also starting discussions with other unsigned sites that have great online tools to move towards sorting out the models for the Artist Services concept that came up in the discussions
I realised with all this talk of development and such I haven't been talking enough about music. Take a look at Vote Show Pony. Something that tickled my fancy as it was quite different to submissions I've received recently. Reminds me in places of Goldfrapp but a bit pop-ier.

Still keen to play one of your nights; thanks to Facebook I now have lots of (old school) friends up in London. One of them is now in Coldplay (no joke) but I can't promise he will turn up...

Thanks Again,
Shakey
I'd love to play, any plans for the new year?
I'm actually into most things. As regards who should be listening to it I've already forwarded it on. So if they come back to me with any questions or comments I'll forward them straight to you.
Cheers.

Gonna try get down to this one if I can tie it in with a few other things on the agenda in the big smoke. My word i'm reading of drinks being offered! I'm there! Ha, jonly oking. Looking forward to Picture Show, nice voice :)
Community Radio would be mega. There's not enough local radio plugging now that the internet has taken over. Getting XFM involved would be good if that's an option, then they'd be a few different areas of the country covered in one swoop. Maybe i'm thinking too big but maybe worth a thought...
