What a party tonights show is going to be. Only the cool kids are invited to this one - as not only do we celebrate our TENTH year supporting new music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire - but - being the first programme of the new year - its where we look back at the masses of tracks sent into us in the last 12 months - and count down our top tens. Im Andrew Marston - and since the 17th of June 2005 - Ive been presenting a radio show on BBC Hereford & Worcester playing nothing but new music from across our area every single week. In fact, the only three weeks I have taken off during my decade of doing this show - was to get married last year...and you can probably guess I booked one of our local bands to play at that too! Now as well as presenting BBC Introducing, Im a regular DJ across the Midlands, I also help shape the playlists at BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra, recommend music for television, the Asian Network, Radio 2, Radio 3, BBC 6 Music and the whole of the Local Radio network. I handpick acts for stages at Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Bestival, Radio 1s Big Weekend, Radio 2s Festival In A Day, T In The Park as well as local events including Worcester, Droitwich, Nozstock, SnodFest, Wychwood and LakeFest. I also choose all of the music for BBC Hereford & Worcester - and in a previous life I toured the region in various bands, hosted regular band nights - and I even played the church organ! As of today, I have listened to a total of 5,674 tracks from the BBC Introducing uploader (from Herefordshire & Worcestershire alone!) - and hundreds of CD albums that have been sent into our Broad Street and Hylton Road studios. But who will make it into my top ten? Tune in tonight from 8 to find out!
