[Spotify]

Hi all

Are there any Spotify links for the SSW and or Fringe bands?

Are there any of any of the regional bands?

Please post them up here if you know of any - thank you.

I've just noticed the revamped lineup list.

Thank you for letting everyone who visits the site have the opportunity to discover some great new music.

Thanks for the full list.

Now, I'm not saying that there should be a big deal made about it. I just think they should be included on the site somewhere.

Maybe a special blog entry with a big of information about each band. Or having their names mentioned in the full line up list.

I don't know all of them and I'd like to see as many as possible. It would be interesting to go and find out more about them. I'm a ticket buyer too - and this is about the only place to get details on these bands.

There's no money in music anymore so anyone sticking there neck out to put on a festival is brave. There are a limited amount of hours in the day. I believe it'll get done (it has every other year) but the cold hard fact is that big bands sell more tickets. A few local people may pay £5 to see a band at Sumo but won't pay for a day ticket to see the same band at SSW. Many Leicester people pay for a full weekend ticket no matter who's on the bill. And as with all bands, it's in the local bands interest to promote their gig themselves.

A few of the bands you've mentioned have had serious promotion from Andy Black on this forum already.

Here's what may be a complete(ish) list.

The Breakdowns

Dumbfound

Abi Moore Band

Shortwave Fade

Mr Plow

The Heroes

Toy Heroes

Maybeshewill

Free Control

Frontiers

Yunioshi

Radio Collective

Kevin Hewick

Her Name Is Calla

Minnaars

Megadub

In the meantime you could always post about the interesting bands here. There's nothing stopping you.

[Local Acts]

ah...which one in particular are you upset as to not be able to see?

[Local Acts]

im sure they'll ensure all possible names which could sell tickets will be on the listings.

certainly the a5 flyers knocking round leicester already detail minnaars, maybeshewill, you fellows of all souls, the breakdowns, kevin hewick etc, etc.

[Local Acts]

When will the 'regionally based artists' names be added to the line up pages.

This is causing confusion and uncertainty of who is playing and who isn't and on what day.

We don't want the SSW to lose ticket sales now - and many of these regional acts are really worth going to see.

I keep on having to come back to the forum to see who is playing on the list.

Please sort this out asap.

Thanks
