Backing tracks

I bet Florence Welch is writing to the DCMS in support of BBC radio's music output. Florence and her Machine owe much of their early success to the support of BBC Introducing, picked up by Steve Lamacq in March 2008. This year her new album went straight to the top of the Billboard rankings in May, and she headlined Glastonbury.

She's signed to Island Records. Maybe the marketing department, where one Henry Whittingdale works, can make the case.
