Hi Guys, please can I ask you to send some tracks into Weekender BBC Northampton. They have a regular Friday night show from 18.00-19.00 and frequently promote visiting bands and local bands. If you send them a cd or e-mail attached tracks and the dates you are playing at the Legendary Labour Club, they will give you and us a plug.
