Thank you to everyone who has donated time and/or money already but they're not quite there yet, so please continue to #HelpSaveACLT. Now only £12,000 away from the £80,000 needed by 31/03/11 to remain in existence, although if you count all the money that's been pledged it's only £8,000 remaining so let's get that last 10%. Please visit the Virgin Money Giving page, send a text to 70300 or, if you're on Facebook, try the Gimme 10 - Save the ACLT page instead. Thanks again.
By the time that this post is published I should be on my way to see Obenewa live at The Tabernacle in West London. It is there that she will be launching her new E.P., 'Once Upon A Time' to an adoring public with support from Nadine Charles and Michaela the Poet. Want to know more? You know the routine by now, just follow her on Twitter.
Not a lot else to say this week, in part due to my preoccupation with unexpected studio tasks including; recording and editing an interview with Insane Macbeth and Ruffstylz (to be aired on next week's 'Friday Night Raw'), re-mastering a track for my friend and being asked to build a track for my nephew. Combined with the pressures of my day job and preparing and delivering my radio shows, as you can imagine I haven't got around to doing everything yet. However, the interview is ready to be transferred to a CD, so I'm a third of the way there at least.
Anyway, here's another friendly reminder that if you're a producer/beat maker/composer and you want free exposure for your music please send it to me for inclusion in the 'Beat Shop', with as much information as you can about you, your tracks and what you want done with them, via my e-mail or by using the Dropbox on the right hand side of this page. Have a listen to the podcast of this week's show to see/hear how it works.
