MORE VIDEO CLIPS NEEDED

We have been inundated with creative new video clips by the cream of Australian artists - both mainstream and independent.

The growth of video - as a surrogate in the unlucky radio country - has been a boon for Pay TV country channel CMC and Nu Country.

But we still also need more videos of international and local artists to blend in with the concert footage and interviews.

The show is screened in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and New Zealand.
For editing purposes we prefer clips in Mini DV (or DVCam) and DVD-R.

Our postal address is P O Box 625, Northcote - 3070.
