Of course, it helps if you’re in Birmingham. On September 13th. At BUSK on Gough St. Get your tickets now, off the website. or at Jibbering.
This ‘cast has 360, Lil Miss Vix Buzzfox, Rich Batsford, Arc Vel, Loopz and Cellardoor.
Radio To Go Podcasts normally surface, work permitting, about once every month… although for some unaccountable reason, it’s taken me nine months to get this one up. They are devoted to the stunning wealth of terrific music coming out of Birmingham and the West Midlands in the UK. Find them at feedburner and iTunes.

Project X Presents Sept 13th 2008
September 6, 2008
Greetings Citizens of the Future!
You are cordially invited to the one and only performance of our unique Project X Presents event
Saturday, September 13th, 8pm
Tickets - £10
BUSK, Gough Street, Birmingham, B1 1HN
Concerned that the UK has more than 20% of the world’s CCTV Cameras? Worried for the wellbeing of a nation addicted to television? Concerned your bank details have just been sold on ebay? Come explore some Orwellian themes with us and see if things will turn out alright in the end.
Join us on this entertaining journey of music and spoken word, spread across three stages with you in the middle of it all, loving every second. The continual mix of exciting and beguiling sounds will combine with theatre performers, set designers, dancers, poets, stand ups and a whole team of VJs - each adding their unique style to the mix.
Some of the acts appearing are:
A frenetic concoction of Electro and BreakBeat executed with fearsome Punk Rock energy. SUBSOURCE are PUNKBREAKS. Subsource serve frenzied sermons of primeval beats and their live shows are controlled collisions of musical sub genres.
one of Birmingham biggest bands - a fantastic 8 piece fusion of ska, funk, reggae and all things good and all things Birmingham.
possibly the best and most challenging comic in the UK today - provocative, bold and piercingly perceptive. Triple Perrier Nominee.

Knife Crime
September 5, 2008
Hi my name is Carl and i have written and produced a song called people need to stop knife crime. The song is aimed at reducing knife crime across Birmingham and gives parents, teachers and the general public an insight into why people commit knife crime and offers the youth a way out. The CD is on sale at Hard to find records .com and Swordfish Records Temple street Birmingham city centre. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD SHOW AN INTEREST AND SUPPORT THE CAUSE. I would like to sell the CD from community centers, schools and youth centers AND NEED SOME PR to get the ball rolling. Thanks from Carl Martin 07504 148064 ezekudo @ hotmail.com
