What is Spotlight?

Each month we take the 5 best tracks sent to us by our members, champion them on our Spotlight blog and on our radio show on Reform Radio.

In association with Ditto Music and Reform Radio.

Hey Bulldog

My track featured in January's Spotlight blog & having that exposure right at the beginning of the year really benefited the year that I had. I went on to be played on BBC Radio 2 and played some amazing festivals including Latitude, The Great Escape and The Secret Garden Party. With the determination, hard work and the support from The Unsigned Guide the feature in Spotlight undoubtedly helped to raise my profile.

Oktoba

We were so grateful to be featured in the Unsigned Guide's Spotlight blog. It was our debut single and to get recognition from such a great organisation championing new & unsigned bands meant a huge deal, especially as we are regular users of the directory and its fantastic resources!
