Steve reflects on yesterday's Merch Market

Available for 27 days

Steve reflects on yesterday's Merch Market in London and hears from organiser Tim Burgess. The Charlatans frontman first launched his Merch Market last year, with the first edition taking place in Manchester. With the initiative, bands sell merchandise direct to fans and keep 100 per cent of the income. Alongside this, Paul Smith from Maximo Park talks us through their massive track Apply Some Pressure for this week's edition of What's The Story. Steve also announces our Independent Venue Week plans, and there is brand new music from Deadletter, Deary, Gretel, Slow Husky and Dry Cleaning.
