Hi Everyone. We wanted to post a quick message to say we have been inundated with new music submissions lately (which is not a bad thing obviously!) and, with Fresh On The Net reopening tomorrow, there will be an even greater volume of new music to consider. Last month's (Ed 119, 31st August) edition of Trust The Doc gave us a rare opportunity to review more of the in-box tracks because Fresh on the Net was closed for the summer hiatus and we also used it to pay tribute to any of the PR folk who had tracks reviewed. But we are struggling to get new tracks onto the radio show and we will not be able to review everything we receive either so please be patient with us. We will, as always, try to support as much grassroots music as we can.
