Radio One is rather like the current government in that they are completely mis-reading the tide of public opinion. Oh well...

Unfortunately they remind me more of Jamiroquai. Not too sure if the world's shouting out for another funk-lite band, or where they'd fit into the present UK marketplace.

Sawn MAMAs GUN last night at CITY SHOWCASE - they are PLAYLISTED on RADIO 2 at the moment.
Superb new band who remind me at times of Philip Bailey ( Earth Wind and Fire )
When they rock out they had the whole venue dancing which on a wet Tuesday in Islington is quite an amazing thing !!!
Radio 2 seem to be breaking bigger than Radio 1 these days - what is wrong with Radio 1's playlist policy ?

Matthew Bennett Band, definitely. However, I still think that they need to gig regularly, get tight, do the album and then pick the single for R2 etc.

All good Dan, and ideal for Radio 2. Especially Ashley and The Matthew Bennett Band, I think they would both do very well on Radio 2 and it would be a good place to launch both acts.
