Primordial Radio’s Music Director Pete Bailey –
“After over a year of the live music industry suffering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic with no live shows, it’s been made clear just how important events are, for both fans and the industry.
We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Ian and Surprise You’re Dead Music, his wealth of experience in the live sector speaks for itself. We’ve already started on plans for 2022 and look forward to making our events bigger, better and the best in town for Rock & Metal fans across the UK.”
Ian Shaw:
“Having seen the station grow from strength to strength, and the real sense of community it has amongst its fans, which is very much like how Surprise You’re Dead has grown in the alternative community, it was certainly a no-brainer to join the team. Radio can be an integral part of an artist’s growth, so to be bringing live events and radio together is a perfect match. The potential is limitless, and I’m excited to be working on this project with the team at Primordial Radio to bring some amazing events across the UK”
Primordial Radio’s next scheduled event is Saturday 18th September at the Lincolnshire Showground for the AGM featuring headliners Skindred, very special guests Terrorvision and support from Borders, Hands Off Gretel and Carry The Crown.
