John Ratcliff is at the Midem Festival in Cannes, France this week, gauging worldwide reaction to the Sprint Music Label roster.This is the largest industry get-together of the year and many valuable ties are formed and cemented with other territories. It is a vital part of the overall  business structure to have licensing for our products around the world and it seems that releases will soon be possible in most of the major music markets internationally.

John Ratcliff was on a panel of judges again. This time at the Strode Theatre, in a competition organised by Crispin School of Street, Somerset. 10 bands battled it out with The Mirettes ending up as the eventual winners. This is the group who have recently appeared in Joshua Jones' latest video and who are being watched closely by The Sprint Music Label. John declared his interest in the local band before judging commenced but even with his abstention they came up trumps and took the top prize.

Chairman of the Judges was the legendary Micheal Eavis, founder of the Glastonbury Festival, and he and John were joined by breakfast show presenters Laura and Ian from Orchard FM.

In the 'Media - Video' section we now have a clip from Joshua's new video!

Heidi and Alice of 'My Dazy Chain' have been in good voice this week and will be releasing their first single, which has still to be chosen, during the summer. Meanwhile they are compiling tracks for their debut album.

You can also see them in the  Joshua Jones video of 'NEVER GONNA BE LONELY'.
