About me: BBC 6 MUSIC INTRODUCING: FRESH ON THE NET
Sunday 00.00-02.00
Monday 01.00-03.00 bbc.co.uk/6musicintroducing
Every Saturday and Sunday night on BBC 6 Music Tom Robinson introduces new tunes by upcoming artists - direct from their own web pages. All music in the show is recommended by listeners, musicians and BBC Introducing colleagues across the country.
To level the playing field, we have a Recommend Music page that's open to everybody, and we choose music according to what comes out of the speakers, not the number of people who request it or what the NME says. If it sounds good to us, we'll play it.
So for this show PLEASE don't send us CDs, emails or MySpace messages asking us to listen to your tracks... Instead just go straight to the Recommend Music page at bbc.co.uk/6musicintroducing and point us at your two favourite online tracks. Every suggestion sent via that page gets heard and considered for the show. It's a promise.
Who I'd like to meet:
BBC Introducing... with Tom Robinson's Friend Space (Top 24)
BBC Introducing... with Tom Robinson has 2190 friends.
Just a quick message to say thanks so so much for playing us again, we really appreciate it, especially bearing in mind how horribly long our songs are! We were in the studio a couple of weeks ago and ought to have some new things in a hearable state by the end of this month so expect new music from us clogging up your inbox soon...
Hi , Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet. To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you. We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages. Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us! Best Wishes Caroline and Colin
Hi Tom MANY thanks for playing Binta Jagn from DOUMAJOULO. Podcast has been heard in Senegal as well. Hope you might make it to Darbucka's. PEACE/KAIRA Jali Fily
How kind of you to have played Evil Twin on your radio show. What nice words as well. Mother & Father stayed up till the early hours to catch it on the Roberts. Father fell asleep, mind.
I now have to work out what the dickens to do next. XX
Just wanted to let you know that Benedizione has been nominated in this years MP3 Music Awards! I uploaded some songs to their site a couple of months ago and found out last Monday that we have been nominated. It's really quite unbelievable and at the same time an amazing feeling!!
I've been emailing BBC Radio 3 New Music and Classic FM to try and get them to play Bendizione and I sent some cds to Hear and Now and Late Junction. No luck yet but hopefully with the nomination we'll get some positive responses.
We have the likes of Damon Albarn voting for us and Kiri Te Kanawa leaving lovely comments on our myspace site so some great kudos. All good stuff!
We find out on November 5th if we've won. We have a one in three chance so very good odds. If we do win we will play at the award ceremony and they are negotiating with some tv networks to broadcast the event live. It just gets better and better!
If people would like to vote for us they can do so here -

Thanks for your support in playing our songs and if you get a chance to play Benedizione again that would be fab. Who knows, this could be the start of something!!
