Vodcast of The Spectator 180th Anniversary Party

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Always looking for more chances to rub elbows, Stream UK is proud to enable, stream, and host The Spectator’s 180th Anniversary Party last night which was held at the Hyatt Regency Churchill hotel in Portman Square. Whilst we didn’t necessarily get to kiss-kiss with guests Joan Collins, Boris Johnson, or even Anne Robinson, it’s nice to think that we were just that close…

800px red bullsvg Red Bull Bedroom JamAspiring bands will already know all about this, but since September 2007, Stream UK have been the video and webcast providers behind the Red Bull Bedroom Jam series.

This has been a once in a lifetime opportunity for new bands seeking their “big break” to upload videos of their gigs, have fans watch and rate them on the site, and then potentially get selected to play at a Red Bull Bedroom Jam session at a killer venue or event such as Camden Crawl (London), Liverpool Sound City and others.

See here for a recent interview with Red Bull UK MD, Nigel Trood, who talks about how popular and successful the platform has been — So much so that they recently moved from fortnightly to weekly jams.

After all, who doesn’t want to be a rock star, or at least hang out with them!? Check out the latest gig, Furthest Drive Home and all the others here.
