UKSounds.com is a new website launched by a small team of people passionate about quality music.
As well as music and gig reviews, the site will include music quizzes and on demand radio shows.
Our music policy is –
- To play any quality music from the last 60 years or so
- But to NOT play the usual boring oldies played on the “Cotton Wool” radio stations across most of the FM and DAB wavebands.
- Instead we play great album tracks, long forgotten singles, rare tracks and more
- We also want to promote newer indie music featuring the best of new artists.
- We mainly sit in the Rock and Pop genre, but dabble in others too
Our target audience for both the website and radio shows are –
- People who have sadly lost their passion for music. They used to get excited about the latest single or album they’d just bought, now they just sit in front of the latest TV talent show, thinking its the best you can expect in the 2010s.
- Main target age range is around 35 – 60+, the Vinyl record buyers of yesteryear
- It is mainly a UK based audience
What we need –
- People to join our team who share our passion for music
- DJs with access to a means to record a professional sounding radio show at home and download to our server
- A regular commitment is needed, ideally recording at least 2 x 2 hour shows per month
- We would want volunteers to stay with us for a minimum of one year
- Experience of course would help, or at least be a keen amateur, but no training given, just friendly encouragement
- Sound IT/Typing skills – there is programme preparation needed to encode the show for broadcast, but its not difficult, just takes a little while.
- Basically, people who just “get on with it” without being asked.
We also have vacancies for music and gig reviewers to write website content.
To find out more –
- Email ian@uksounds.com (whose current radio show you can hear on www.uksounds.com) and tell him about what experience you have, what music you’re into, etc
- A demo playlist and then recorded demo will be needed, and will be the concensus of the current team before we agree to take you on
Thanks very much for reading through this, and hope you’ll be interested in our site, if not also joining the UKSounds team
