• Music: Save BBC Introducing In Scotland Debate

    I put this out on twitter at first, but it’s worth highlighting further:

    A lot of you will have been aware of the Save BBC Introducing in Scotland Campaign; set up by The PopCop and others in the face of proposed BBC cuts which threaten Ally McRae’s hugely important Radio 1 show, the resulting petition gained over 7000 signatures, one of whom was MSP Joan MacAlpine.

    MacAlpine then took the campaign to Holyrood, leading the debate which can be seen below.  It’s great to see this kind of thing being talked about in the Scottish Parliament, and from a local point of view, utterly, utterly surreal to hear The Xcerts, Driveblind and Drummonds being mentioned.  That’s right, Drummonds got namechecked in parliament.  Amazing.
