Dutch radio CD request
We received a note from Marcel Hanson, who works with a local radio and TV station in Holland. They include a variety of country and American type music, including bluegrass and folk.
Many US artists and labels are reluctant to ship recordings to Europe, given the postage costs, but Marcel insists that they are eager to receive CDs.
As Country music is still not very popular in Holland, we hope that you are willing to send over some promo material on CD. Please send over as many as you like, everything is welcome!!
Thanks in advance for your support and look foward to hear from you!

We received a note recently from Guillaume Veillet, who until about two months ago was a prominent roots and acoustic radio host in France.

I've had several discussions with artists over the course of 2008 with regard to the final destination of promo CDs. Everyone sends them out, but no one talks about where they end up. The artists and labels send out large quantities of promotional CDs targeted at journalists, DJs, and promoters. But...
