It happens to us all so we thought we’d keep you updated with a weekly blog about all things TIWN - you never know, you might just learn about an upcoming gig or release, discover a brand new band or maybe just get bored by our ramblings... Read on!

You may have seen that we’ve had quite a few No.1 shows in the global mixcloud charts. We’d just like to thank everyone that listens in (and comes in for an interview) and all of the artists that send in their music for the playlist show - which now reached over 200,000 listeners every week around the world !
