Just befcause it is reputed record comanies come this caper Noel, doen't make it alright.
I would suggest it is more productive to cultivate your local DJs and chat them into doing an all Aussie artists show with the empasis on originals or emerging acts.
That's what we did down here and it works great.
I don't know a local music buff who doesn't listen to Catherine Wests friday show.
And the beauty of it is, other DJs on hope FM are picking up the stuff she introduces and playing it on their shifts too.
It was a sneeky move but our club now has Catherine as our publicity officer.
last week Catherine had My thrush janine and Steve, (Cat's big brother and my guitar bloke by the way) West in and they performed live to air. Went down real well anr was the talk of the jam last night.
This is the sort of radio cover i would be looking forrather than stooping to devious plans which I would feel can only atract the same distgust given to record companies for doing it.
I don't know what your radio set up over there is Noel but would suggest you look at doing it all above board when you get one good enough to air.
And believe me. If you have a radio station prepared to play less than full production songs, I would nurture them. Put them top of your dial because tyhey are thin on the ground and need every bit of support writers and emerging artists can give them.
The above doesn't adress your post Ashliegh but does continue the flow so far.
I remember posting to the original subject and maybe it would have been better to bring that one up top so it would all be together.
Regards.
Graham
