I will miss the station and looked forward to hearing new music.
I'm signing up for your new showcase thing and will be encouraging others to do the same.

Cheers Xan, thanks for your continued support of local bands and new music!!

Hi Xan,

Really sad to hear its gone, you were doing a fantastic job and we (Recreation) enjoyed our many visits into the Original studio's for live sessions and probing chats.

All the best and we'll be sure to keep in touch regarding your new exciting venture.

Hi Xan, couldn’t belive it when I heard they were taking off Original, your expanded “village” analogy makes a lot of sense. Thanks to yourself and everyone at Original for being such a strong supporter of new music, you’re one of the good guys )

Needless to say we’re completely behind http://www.showcaseuk.tv.

Hi Xan

We will certainly miss Original and particularly your Showcase. When will radio realise that every great classic song was once a brand new track that no-one had heard before? Good luck to your new project and big thanks for all the support you gave us during your two years at Original.

thanks to some of your colleagues but mainly to you for the support you've shown us and hundreds of other bands. the radio work you did for new music in the south was unrivalled and I wish you every success with showcase.tv.

Thanks Darren, your support is most welcome. I’ve set up a new web site at http://www.showcaseuk.tv which you might enjoy.

And we’ll look forward to hearing how Absolute develop over the coming months.

Hi Xan, I agree entirely with your comments. Will sincerely miss Original, it was different and challenged what most people perceive to be what ILR is all about. I still can’t quite believed it has disappeared without any fanfare – just gone. Radio is so predictable once again with some notable exceptions from the BBC and perhaps Absolute – time will tell…

My thanks and best wishes to you and the now departed team at Original.

Darren, Winchester.
