Summary:Hi all.
I am delighted to announce that on 3 June, 2007 Michele Ari won 1107am Moray Firth Radio's Shandy Showcase by 100% of the votes, a feat that has only happened one other time in the history of the show!!!
The showcase puts two unsigned artists in a contest where the listeners decide the winner. Her track My Sleeping Beauty, off of her critically acclaimed debut release 85th and Nowhere, was played alongside another unsigned artist and the people spoke LOUD and CLEAR about what they wanted to hear.
This is a special kind of victory for Ari as she works relentlessly to bring inspired new music into a field stultified by commerical and corporate interests, which is not particularly the easiest of tasks as any left of the dial musician will tell you. Yet, Sunday night proved that if you reach people they know exactly what they want and will say so. Ari is also particularly fond of the UK (see web bio for the full scoop) and would love to see her music take off in our beautiful country.
85th and Nowhere will be played on 1107am through Thursday night sometime between 10pm and 1am.
Cheers,
