We're still sifting through contributions and digitising audio, and will start returning tapes in the next couple of weeks.

We still have one more fascinating programme made from your C60s and C90s; its producer, Heather Davies, tells us more:
'On the up-coming (Sunday 18 November聽12 noon, 主播大秀 6 Music) will be opening the doors on his own private collection, which includes the very first interview and 主播大秀 session from a new band who would come to define the next decade of music, but who in 1999 hadn't left university yet... a new band called .
In the thought-to-be-lost interview, a young Chris Martin tells how the band came to be, and how they left a copy of their first single in Lamacq's pigeon-hole, but that somehow no-one picked it up. After such an inauspicious start, Lamacq went on to see them play a small gig, attended (by their own admission!) mostly by their friends. Lamacq was so impressed that he then invited them in for their first session for the 主播大秀, and he enjoyed the show so much, he later recorded it over a promo cassette to preserve the session in perpetuity. In the programme Lamacq talks about how strange it is to hear the show back: "I don鈥檛 think they鈥檝e changed that much as a band. The music is probably more ambitious now, but as people, they still have that mix of self-deprecation and a rather cheeky sense of humour".
The show also features previously lost archive from , , and a young Gideon Coe who joins Lamacq in the studio.'
