About

This web site showcases the best new music from the UK.

Created by Xan Phillips, a radio presenter who demonstrated his passion for independent and unsigned acts in the Original Showcase on Original 106fm.

For the two years of that station's short life the Showcase played over 1000 songs by artists from the UK's south coast.

Xan's philosophy was to always play the best examples of what was available and by doing so gave the program a great reputation and ensured the Showcase was "the show" to heard on.

Since the station’s demise Xan has taken his passion to the internet and is now showcasing the UK’s best musicians to a much wider audience.

Pete Doherty was one of the last people Xan Phillips interviewed before Original 106fm closed down.

The Babyshambles front man was in Boscombe to choose a south coast band to support him at the Opera House. He picked Betika and called to tell them the good news.

The interview was broadcast on Xan’s Original Showcase.
