I am Peter Clitheroe, founder of Suffolk'n'Cool, a music podcast from the east coast of England designed to support and promote independent labels and artists all around the world. The show and website is provided free to users but that doesn't mean that it is without cost to me! I mostly do it for love of the music.
You may be wondering what the connections are between Suffolk'n'Cool and the products and companies that I mention in the show and here, on the website.
Well, to be totally clear, here's the deal.
- Suffolk'n'Cool is part sponsored by Adnams plc, the Suffolk-based brewery and wine merchant. Adnams send me a few bottles of wine or some beer each month - which is very, very nice! They are also advising on social media matters.
- Suffolk'n'Cool is an affiliate for Amazon - if you use this link, you pay no more and we get small commission. Every little helps. Thanks. (See Deals page)
- Suffolk'n'Cool is an associate of GoDaddy who provide our web-hosting, domain names and email services. We love their service and even their hold music and hope that you'll enjoy it too. Some exclusive discounts are available via the links and we get a small commission to offset some of our hosting costs. (See Deals page)
LOTS of artists, labels and publicity agents send me music (mostly as MP3 files) from which I select what I'm going to feature on the show. I do occasionally get sent to odd tee shirt, etc. which I may wear or give to someone. I can only assure you that such freebies do not affect what, if anything, I say about the artists. My reputation for integrity and honesty is worth far more than a whole wardrobe full of tee-shirts and once lost, could never be regained. The deal is, and will remain, that:
- I only play music that I really like and think you'll want to hear
- I do not pay to play music ('cos I can't afford to and don't need to)
- I would never accept payments for playing or recommending music - see 1 (not that I've been asked!)
- I have yet to receive any other products or merchandise for review. If I do, I'll let you know! (on this page).
I sometimes rave about other products and services and people reasonably ask if they are clients. The simple answer is that if they are not on this list then no, they are not and I have received no benefits for mentioning them. Again, when I mention them, it is because I think they deserve it and that you might be interested.
If you have any questions about sponsorship or affiliate links, please just get in touch and ask.
