Worrying news as the wave of BBC cuts which will be taking place over the coming year could be set to affect BBC Introducing, the national music discovery platform that many unsigned and emerging artists rely on for radio airplay and live opportunities.

Obviously, there has been a great outpouring of disappointment at these proposed cuts, and we've gathered a selection of articles together so you can get the full lowdown, linked below.

BBC Introducing plays a pivotal role in championing under the radar talent across the UK & it would be a huge blow to emerging bands & artists to lose such an initiative and the opportunities it can provide for their discovery and development.
