“Best in British Music with Tara O.” is Canada’s only all-UK radio show & blog that plays, discusses, and reviews the best NEW indie music from the UK.   They are hosted & produced by music enthusiast Tara O. since 2007.

“Best in British Music” (BiBM) weekly radio show (also available by podcasts) on CHUO 89.1FM is an easy way to keep up with (or discover!) the latest music worth your attention – in just one hour!   Every week, apart from a great selection of the latest music, there’s artist & music news/backgrounders, interview excerpts, and the odd opinion (or rant!).

“Best in British Music” (BiBM) blog takes the show’s concept one step further by offering full music reviews & recommendations (CDs, DVDs, live shows, festivals), complete interviews, photos & videos (interviews, concerts, festivals), expanded commentary on UK music news/artists, all radio show podcasts, artist/industry links, gig listings, and more!

Want Your Music Reviewed or Played?

For both playing and reviewing the music, the following information is required with your submission:

1. BiBM is a radio show and blog for UK born artists only. The four UK regions are: Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England.

Please include the artist’s birth region (a city name would be nice too!)

2. BiBM plays all genres except full-on country / folk / death metal. While subjective, hybrids are played (E.g., Lily Allen’s “It’s Not Fair” is pop-country)

Please ensure tracks sent fit within the show’s genres.

3. BiBM plays UK content developed within the last 12 months.

Please include the track date.

4. BiBM (and the Taiwan radio network I affiliate with) requires full playlists.

Please include CD/EP name for each track, or indicate if it’s a single.

5. Lastly, if you have an artist bio, send it along too. Nothing like some background info to help the artist stand out from all the others!

- Email BestInBritishMusic@gmail.com
OR
- simple FTP (easy way to send several tracks / whole CD)
