I had to scribble down ideas for my shirt during German lessons today. Thinking about it, the guy who does these printings also paints... and once did a beautiful painting of James for my sis and me. So maybe I should ask if he has time to do one of John someday.

Got my reply from BB radio Liebe Loraline, vielen Dank für Ihre Anregung und die nette Mail. Ihr Musikwunsch ist in unserer Musikredaktion angekommen. Leider ist es für uns nicht leicht, alle Musikwünsche zu erfüllen. Zum einen kommen täglich viele Wünsche bei uns an, zum anderen passen sie nicht immer in unser Musikprogramm. BB RADIO spielt Pop Rock aus den 80ern, 90ern, 2000ern und mehr aktuelle Hits! Jeder einzelne Titel bei BB RADIO wird vorher auf seine Tauglichkeit getestet. Dazu laden wir regelmäßig Hörer zu einem aufwendigen und kostspieligen Musiktest ein. Und nur die Songs, die bei der Mehrheit der Hörer beliebt sind, werden auch gespielt. Hier zeigt sich: wir können es leider nicht jedem recht machen bzw. auf Musikwünsche Einzelner eingehen - unsere Musik muss mehrheitsfähig sein. Sollte das bei dem von Ihnen vorgeschlagenen Künstler der Fall sein, werden wir ihn selbstverständlich in unser Programm aufnehmen. Wir hoffen, dass wir Ihre Fragen beantwortet haben und würden uns freuen, wenn Sie BB RADIO auch weiterhin treu bleiben. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Potsdam Claudia Pirsch Internetredaktion Public Relations -- BB RADIO Länderwelle Berlin/Brandenburg GmbH & Co. KG Großbeerenstraße 185 14482 Potsdam For those who don't speak German... summary... they are happy with people requesting music, but they get many requests, so they have listeners voting for music and the music that scores best in the voting makes it to the broadcast. So if we would all request John's music on bb radio, we might get them to play John's music more often |

That is almost exactly the same email I got some days ago  so they probably don't even read them: "Liebe Marlina, vielen Dank für Ihre Anregung und die nette Mail.

BUMP! I just got exactly the same email again, after I had written them another message... Any other ideas? That magazine Gray suggested sent me a nice reply though, they forwarded the request to the editorial team |

not sure if this question should be in this thread or the question-thread, but will post here all the same.... Are you only looking for places to play in England and Spain or would you consider the Netherlands as well? If so, what kind of places are you looking for? Small places (upto 100 audience), medium size (upto 1000) or larger? Here in the Netherlands, there are places that expect artists and/or their managers to send a demo before considering putting them on the program. 3rd party suggestions are often not taken into consideration.. I could however easily make a list of 5 or 6 locations in the Netherlands, that would be interesting for you to play at... |
