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.

Website problems fixed and new Mp3s up

Well my hate/hate relationship with internet FTP software has had a bad week... the new website was down for a few days after I crashed the thing, but with much thanks to Robert we are back up and running with an additional page added that groups together the Mp3s of past shows.

Also added there are last week's show, plus the missing show 12 for which many thanks Lukas for helping us out by providing a recording. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to think of all the great support we are getting. (either that or this single malt is hitting the right spots...!)

So we now have shows 11 through to 14 available for download. what's more I think I now understand the whole thing better after much patient tuition from Robert and we shouldn't have problems on the same scale again.

Now its up and running again I can face Al on Sunday evening...!

Thanks for listening

Listen again (temporarily)

Tonight's show will be up at our website soon, but as the online recording worked (for a change) I thought I'd let you listen here to the rough version, before Richard clears it up a bit.

www.auditionradio.info - our new website

Click here to see our brand-spanking-new website - nice one, Richard! This is where you'll need to go to listen again to our past shows and you'll find three of them there already for your aural pleasure. I think Richard has done a marvellous job, and there's much more to come. Meanwhile, this blog will continue to publish playlists and announcements, so bookmark both. There's a link to the site over there on the right, too, in case www.auditionradio.info is too difficult for you to remember.

I have a big grin on my face as I'm posting this.

Three more months - and a new time

You'll be pleased to know that we've been given another three months on Resonance, taking us up to the end of June. Thanks to everyone who has listened, talked to/about us here or elsewhere and even the couple of people who have got in touch directly with Resonance to say how much they like the show. We couldn't have done it without you!

The one difference in the next three months is that we're moving to an earlier time slot. As from this Sunday, April 2, we'll be broadcasting between 7 and 8pm BST (that's 6-7pm GMT for those of you who need to know such things). We like to think of it as a promotion, and it means we can go to the pub afterwards and still get to our respective homes at a reasonable hour (we both have proper jobs to go to on Monday mornings!).

Also, look out for a really important announcement early next week. I know I've said it before, but this time it really will happen. We're that close...

Kein Treppenhaus!

Looking at our site stats, I noticed that one of our visitors (from Wedding, Berlin - hello there!) had found us by looking at German Google. I couldn't resist sharing the "translate this page" version of Hörprobe with you all. "Justieren nicht ihren satz" indeed.
