Alan Parsons

Alan Parsons Feature/Interview

On 18 March, Alan Parsons plays a rare gig with The Alan Parsons Live Project at Shepherds Bush Empire, London.

In our special feature he chats to David Randall about his pcareer which really started when he was tape op. at Abbey Road, working on two Beatles albums and subsequently "The Dark Side Of The Moon" for Pink Floyd.

He formed The Alan Parsons Project with the late Eric Woolfson in 1975 and enjoyed great album success, although the band never toured.

The hour-long special features some of those artists Alan has worked with over the years and including his own music.

How can we help?

What can we offer artists and labels in terms of promotion?

We can jointly promote via our associated website www.getreadytorock.com - one of the web's main rock destinations for over 250,000 unique users each month.  Gig and album reviews are consistently high in Google for maximum visibility.

The radio station "tweets" the playlist in real time and links directly to Last.FM - music lovers are more likely to find your music.

Selected shows are available now at Mixcloud, another way of getting your music out there via our interview features/specials.

Our sponsored label and artist showcases highlight your product via radio, website and in iTunes.

Our "In Session" series is a further vehicle to show an artist's depth in the context of an acoustic or live performance.

Get Ready to ROCK! is independent and has built an enviable reputation for informed, enthusiastic, eclectic and comprehensive coverage since 2002.
