@hannahpreedy2 @Alex_G_1690 @rickygervais It’s the same argument every bloody time !! Why are they looked after like that ? Because they are an investment .. you don’t leave a Rolex out in the rain ! If racing was banned tomorrow let’s see how much love the owners show the horses then !

Every band who comes to me for radio all ask for 6music / radio x / radio 1.. the big guns .. of course these are important but I cannot overstate the importance of the smaller stations. Stations run purely out of love for music.. stations run out of bedrooms, sheds etc .

with smaller bands really struggling right now it would be great to see some of the bigger bands give them a chance with supports.. not having a go because i dislike them (although i do) but Muse do not need Royal Blood to help them sell out the tour.. take an unknown out.
