Website update

We've redesigned our website! Well, Richard has, I just annoyed him with my constant whining. I think it's looking even better than ever and now you can even see what we look like (warning: do not look at the "about audition" page on a full stomach).

Have a look here.

LMC Website relaunched and a teaser for tomorrow's show

The London Musicians' Collective's website has just been relaunched, so go here to satisfy all your London Musician and London-Musician-related needs. Excellent work, chaps.

As well as a useful calendar of gigs in London, there's a text archive which includes the fascinating "25 Years From Scratch" booklet, and an MP3 archive with sets from last November's LMC Festival featuring the likes of Dieb 13, Tisha Mukarji, Xavier Charles, Trio Sowari and Mattin. So, if you want to find out whether those blasts during the first part of Mattin's set was as loud as you've been told, check out the downloads here.

Tune in tomorrow for a host of new releases and some exclusive material from one of the participants in the above-mentioned LMC festival. We're too good to you, really we are.

Interactive programming on audition - get voting!

Between 2001 and 2004 there were some great concerts in the basement of Sound 323, many of them recorded by Tim Fletcher. Four of the best have been released on the Sound 323 label but we've been through the list of remaining gigs and come up with what we think are the first XI of so-far-unheard recordings from the basement.

We'd like to share some of them with you on the show. Vote via email for the three you'd most like to hear - use the link on the right of the page - and let us know by showtime, Sunday 14 May. We'll then play the winners on our June shows.
