This morning i was helping 'er indoors clean the house ( maybe I should also start another thread -'Are bandsmen becoming too domesticated, as the only thing they should be cleaning are their instruments' but that's a different matter). Anyway, I find this time of the week to be my few hours of brass band contemplation. Today's contemplation was centred on the lack of radio broadcasting, which may have been perhaps touched on in a previous thread. when :idea: . We winge and moan all the time about the lack of air play when we don't do that much about it ourselves.
Maybe we could really wind up the producers of radio 3/ Classic fm etc, and flood all their request programmes with requests for band pieces. I have no idea how many people use TMP, but it has to be a few thousand. It only takes everyone to make just 1 request per week to really have an impact. I think maybe they'd eventually relent and use a heck of a lot more band recordings, if it's only to stop bandies from jamming up their email inbox. :lol:
What have we got to lose? We get nothing as it is at the moment. :twisted:
If you want to do something about it instead of carrying on moaning, here's the link to classic Fm. They have daily request spots.
