"John Peel would have loved the programme - it would have pleased him enormously." - Clive Selwood, Record Label Manager

"It is the voice of young and up-and-coming musicians and music fans. If you want to see or hear local music, then this show has it all." - Nigel Clark, Dodgy

"This programme has helped to develop Nozstock to become the festival it is today. With its far reaching audience, BBC Introducing has helped us to raise our profile both regionally and nationally." - Ella Nozworthy

"The show is a very important outlet for me as a promoter to help spread the word and has the added bonus of Andy O'Hare reviewing the gigs. The show is the perfect platform to get a buzz going about what's happening in the local scene." - Lisa Ventura
