News on this year's BML openers
Wed, 23 Sep 2009
Pama Intl's song 'Equality And Justice For All' has been added this week to Steve Lamacqs BBC6 music Rebel Playlist.
This is huge for Pama Intl and is potentially the biggest airplay they have ever received.
What is the Rebel Playlist I hear you ask?
Well, basically each week Steve Lamacq chooses 3 new songs out of 100s and asks people to vote for their favourite. The one with the most votes gets played on every 6music mainstream show the following week!
This would be unbelievable for Pama Intl to win. Please could you take the time to vote for them? Votes are open from now until midnight on Sunday 27th September.
You can listen to and vote for Pama Intl-Equality & Justice For All to win the Rebel Playlist at this link
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/steve_lamacq/rebel_playlist.shtml
Equality & Justice For All
features Lynval Golding (from The Specials), Lenny Bignell (Lord Large), Fuzz Townshend (Bentley Rhythm Ace/PWEI), Gary Alesbrook (Kasabian) plus Finny and Sean Flowerdew and is produced by Sean & John Collins (producer of The Specials iconic Ghost Town)
It's coming out on the next Pama intl single - I Still Love You More (26 Oct09) and album Pama Outernational (2 Nov09)
Please forward this onto anyone you think would be up for voting. Winning this would be immense for Pama Intl. Please vote now!
