BRMB legend "Rockin' Robin" Valk has hit out at his former station and other commercial channels for ignoring the local talent on their doorstep. Talking to Stirrer TV at the Gigbeth launch, he said it made good business sense to support homegrown bands.

  • Robin Valk's analysis here makes total sense. Of course, he's talking about a time when radio stations had needletime (only a specific number of hours of recorded music per day) restrictions. Commercial stations could only play 9 hours of recorded music a day, and Radio 1 12 hours. These rules forced radio controllers to look for ways of putting out live music, and other loopholes, which stopped them going for the easy way out and playing safe - as they do today.

  • This man isssss a legend. dying breed.

  • Thanks for having your finger on the local pulse mr stirrer.
