As Live - Band Contacts

I have just spoken to Fish Tank and This BOy, they both seem up for it, here is the email I sent:
Hey Ben


Regarding our telephone call about the show,

 The aim of the show is to become a platform for new talent across the UK and to promote original songwriters. We also aim to bring awareness to the other side of the music industry that isn't aimed at manufactured artists and talent shows. And to generate an interest in new bands and venues. The style will be 'unpolished', 'edgy' and 'fast-paced'. 
 It's a 30 minute music show recording with a live studio audience in Studio 1 in The Maidstone Studios, more details can be found on their website here: http://www.maidstonestudios.com/facilities/f-studios-1-5.html; we have access to professional sound engineers and lighting technicians and all the equipment necessary and a fully built set. We also have access to green rooms and we would like to have a short interview section as part of the programme. The structure of the show involves two presenters, one in studio and one in the VT's. There will be 3 bands playing one song each in the studio interweaved between 3 VT's. The VT's consist of 'gig guides', where to see music, quirky facts about the area. And another features an 'On the Road with...', we'll pick a band to film this with. And the third is still being debated, it may be a 'day-job' or 'in the recording studio' with a producer. 
 The idea is still in development, but is definately going ahead. As we approach May, we will have ready call sheets, schedules etc. We have a marketing & promotions team to create a viral ad campaign and behind-the-scenes videos. This is a production in partnership with The Maidstone Studios and UCA courses in Broadcast Media and Creative Arts for Theatre and Film. The filming date is Thursday May 17th, with two days prior for setting-up and rehearsals, you won't be expected to attend both, but possibly a rehearsal will be decided later.

 If this is something that appeals to you and that you can commit to then let me know. We would love to have you involved, and think you're the type of band we would like to showcase. Let me know if i've missed anything or any more information you need.
 Thanks
Lauren Howard
