What started as a simple way to share the music we love and that we felt was under served, has turned into so much more. I have made new friends, discovered more new bands, be turned on so many great DJ's doing the same thing, been involved with three great radio stations and even traveled to Liverpool for the IPO which was always a dream.

Thank you all for being a part this very cool experience. Music is life!
