Wretch 32 made Sound of 2011 shortlist

After I news about the BBC Sound of 2011 shortlist earlier this week I was curious to know the names of the pundits responsible for helping to compile this list, and found a link to this information via fellow blogger Marvin Spark’s blog. Thanks Sparks!

161 influential UK-based music critics, editors, broadcasters and bloggers helped put together the BBC Sound of 2011 list by naming their favourite new acts. The tastemakers were:

I’m happy to see the following names made it on that list.

Congratulations ladies!

I do however think that it’s an absolute travesty that I wasn’t asked by the BBC to help compile this year’s list. Queen Ice Cream and Mafiella deserved to make that shortlist alongside this years nominees Jessie J and Wretch 32, and I could have made that happen.

There is nobody out there that is more passionate about the UK scene than me, apart from Speakz over at Pinboard Blog , and the Soul Culture crew.
