You’re a local band or solo artist with some great original songs, fantastic hooks and catchy lyrics? You’d love to get heard on the radio, but in these modern times you just can’t do it unless you’re signed to a big multi-national record label? Wrong! Weekdays at 8pm, listen to Palm 105.5 for the Palm Live Music Cafe’. Fantastic local artists performing LIVE across South Devon in our acoustic studio.
During the summer we set up an experiment to prove once and for all, that South Devon’s music scene is full of raw, untapped, wide-ranging talent. We’ve been proved right. So far on the show we’ve had: NUMB, Living In A Valve State, Emily Herbert, Jack Woodward, The Quails, The Rumur, Simplicity Complex, Start Me Up, Eat The Rich, Dirty Strings, Frank Tout, Your Rival, Temporary Mind, The Newcomers, Loveday, Ground Soul, Alex Edworthy and the Sellers and the Sailors – You could be next.
It’s become obvious to me that getting radio airplay nowadays can be impossible for unsigned acts, but there is a place for them to be heard – I’m glad that it’s my show. The excitement and buzz that local groups get when they know people are going to hear their song on the radio, is incredible. They get their family, friends, fans and everyone they know to get by a radio to hear their song, and always ask for a recording of the session after. It’s really exciting to be involved in something like this because everyone who comes on is so grateful for the opportunity. I love hearing the performances and I love being part of the local music scene.
If you’d like to come on the show send a demo cd to: Palm Live Music Cafe’, Palm 105.5, Torquay, TQ1 4FB or email an MP3 or myspace page details to: [email protected]
