Folded Wing and The British Council are very pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration between our globally syndicated, weekly radio show The Selector and BBC Radio's 'new music' platform BBC Introducing. Each month The Selector will provide a showcase for the exciting, new talent involved in the BBC Introducing initiative. The collaboration begins on Friday, 27 February when The Selector will feature a BBC Maida Vale session from BBC Introducing stars The Bohicas. The content will then appear on The Selector’s 43 international partner stations over the following seven days.
To celebrate we have asked the Folded Wing staff to pick some of their favourite BBC Introducing moments.
Read moreKaren's choice - BBC Introducing Masterclass 2012
"BBC Introducing do so many good events, amazing videos and resources for musicians. One of my favourite events they have done was at Abbey Road back in 2012. Wow what a line up! Zane Lowe with Richard Russell, Jamie Cullum did a brilliant showcase & interview and I loved Rob da Bank's session on getting booked for gigs. By the end of the day I wanted to start making music!"
Jim's choice - Ady Suleiman
"I heard him recently on MistaJam and he did a track called 'So Lost', off his forthcoming EP that's coming out in May... serious talent."
Pete's choice - Daughter
"I think I was first introduced (no pun intended) to this band by their BBC Introducing set at the Reading Festival in 2011, I just think they are brilliant and can't wait for album number two!"
Matt's choice - Bombay Bicycle Club
"One of my favourite bands to come through the BBC Introducing ranks is Bombay Bicycle Club. After playing a slot at Reading and Leeds during their GCSE exams, they've gone from strength to strength - producing consistently strong albums and translating them into something really special when it comes to performing live. Here's my favourite Bombay Bicycle Club track 'Always Like This' from their set at Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2009."
Sandie's choice - Ben Cox Band on Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2
"I loved the Ben Cox Band BBC Introducing session on Jamie's BBC Radio 2 show!"
