BBC DJ refuses to support bands from public schools

[witchdoc187]

her show is pretty good when she isn't talking. Same as Lauren Laverne and Giles Peterson

 

[mawders]

Does anyone even listen to her show?

She took over the Blues Show from Paul Jones and turned it into the Turquoise Show.

Welsh bird from that crap indie band catatonia who is now a BBC DJ has announced she won't play music from bands that come from public schools because they've had enough leg ups already. Lots of outrage over this... on one hand it seems a bit harsh given the public schoolers probably had no say on where they went to school but on the other hand it means less airplay for Mumford & Sons.

Thoughts ? Too many public school posh boy bands and not enough working class groups ? or is there no room for class wars in music ?

Trivia :- Marcus's parents were leaders of a charismatic evangelical church group whose founder John Wimber sort of discovered the Righteous Brothers and produced their first few albums.

Would rather the debate surround abolishing the utterly regressive things, to be honest.
