#IWasThere6Music - what should be on the ultimate 'before they were famous' playlist?

BBC Radio 6 Music - Now Playing @6Music, #IWasThere6Music - what should be on the ultimate 'before they were famous' playlist?

Jon Hillcock asks listeners to suggest tracks by artists they saw before they were famous.

Jon Hillcock sits in for Tom Robinson and asks listeners to suggest a playlist based on artists they saw before they were famous.

On Now Playing Jon Hilcock, with the help of the listeners, compiles a playlist around those artists and bands you saw before they were famous.

Rounding off Lammo's Independent Venues Week on 6 Music - where he did his 4-7pm show every day this week (23-27 Jan) from an independent music venue - we thought it only fitting to hear the listener memories of the independent venues/clubs/raves where they saw an artist/band/DJ before they went stratospheric.

What is your 'I WAS THERE' moment - did you see The Ramones at CBGB's in '74, Pearl Jam at Off Ramp Cafe in '90, The Beatles at Tiny Club in '62, The Smiths at the Hacienda in '83, The Strokes at Arlene's Grocery in '00...the list goes on.

When you think of your 'I WAS THERE' moment, think of a song that stood out and get it to Jon via the hashtag #IWasThere6Music to help create the playlist or email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk.
