Hi Gini & all,
I must say that have I found it refreshing to see all the projects being
declared on the list. Especially hearing stories and experiences from
those personally involved in such projects as well.
I have visited UK Sound TV a few times online, and have enjoyed watching
the various streams/videos. The live debate was pretty interesting about
violence.
I was wondering if your team plans to create/broadcast other types of
audio-visual media by those wishing to promote contemporary grass-root
sounds?
