Can't stress how important #bbcintroducing is to the UK's musical success and diversity. Unless you just want major label trend chasing please help #savebbcintro
THE BACKBONE OF BBC INTRODUCING... If you've appreciated our network of local BBC Introducing shows across England & The Channel Islands over the past 15 years, here's a chance to say so freshonthenet.co.uk/backbone (Wales, Scotland & N.I. also have their own regional flagship shows!)
