Our latest play is live, Battle of the Bards by the 3rd century BC Greek playwright Theocritus. A shepherd and a goatherd go to war over a stolen goatskin the way the Greeks new best: in song! But hang on! Little Wonder is mostly about spaceships, right? What are we doing in 300 BC? Click on “more” to find out what we learned from recording the Battle of the Bards.
We are delighted to announce the Longlist for our 2018 short radio competition. 17 entries were selected from an incredible 298 submissions. Hit “more” to find out who they were:
Here’s a cool project that involves one of our @littlwonder members. If you like electric music and/or supporting independent, all women projects, check out Clara Nova’s new single “Electric.” The lead singer is French-American Sydney Wayser and the planned music video will be directed by award-winning filmaker Laura Beckner.
If you like the song and want to help them make a music video for “Electric” here in Paris, then check out the IndieGoGo link here.
The link contains a lot more details about the project on the IndieGoGo site, including a video that explains everything, and remember that even small donations help. Click on the link, donate if you can, and help more independent music go live!
When we launched on iTunes about a week and a half ago I set at the time what I thought was a hugely ambitious target of achieving 1000 individual play listens by September the 1st – which, if we could also get enough rate/reviews on iTunes to get an average score in the UK, US and France, would be enough to maybe, just maybe, get us on the front page of iTunes.
Well, it took us 10 days. We smashed through 1000 listens on July 23rd and with the very exciting Operation Semen by Oliver Warren releasing tomorrow I think this may just be the beginning!
Want to help us out? Rumour has it that the average podcast that makes it to the front page as “New and Noteworthy” has received 2000 listens and 200 rate/reviews on iTunes. We’re not that far away. We could do it! Check out how to rate/review on iTunes by clicking this [link]. Friends, family, people you meet on the street – lets do something amazing!
And look at these glorious, beautiful numbers below. Or forget my obsession with graphs and go listen to some radio plays 🙂
If you use twitter, here’s how to find and follow our free radio plays in bursts of less than 280 characters.
The two accounts to follow are @littlwonder [note there is only one e – if you get an Australian record company you’re in the wrong place] and @keithcrawford77.

Follows are much appreciated – it makes us look like we’re a real thing – nobody needs to know you followed out of pity!
But the best thing about interacting with us on Facebook is that we can embed both our soundcloud and iTune recordings directly into twitter, so you can play them straight from the twitter stream:
Once you follow us, we’d love to hear from you. It helps us enormously if you comment, retweet and like our tweets:
Comment – Retweet – Like
If you retweet embedded plays (you can spot the, because they include a “play” button), then your friends will be able to listen direct from your personal stream.
