Hot on the heels of my announcement of Real Fresh TV’s social media charity engagement of the year: 7 Wonders in 7 Days, comes the first live music event in aid of the charity fundraising trip planned for September 2009.
For those of you who are unaware, 7 Wonders in 7 Days is an epic adventure trip I’m embarking on jointly inspired by my grandmonther’s funeral in February and Channel 4’s brilliant Secret Millionaire programme.
Earlier this week I shared how Peter Hartey, a recent attendee of the Social Media Starter Course was seeing some fantastic online success around a social media project he launched after attending the course in October.
Hot on the heels of Peter’s good news, I’ve been contacted by another Social Media Starter Course attendee with details of a fascinating social media project, this time featuring a Christmas single!
Liam Walsh of Ask Me PR is currently promoting an inventive musician’s Credit Crunch-themed Christmas single using social media.
Allow us the self-congratulatory whoop but a Manchester band Real Fresh TV spotted and filmed back in 2006 is performing at this year’s Glastonbury festival!
Meet the The Ting Tings!
Back then they were Dear Eskiimo and you can watch their highly entertaining performance at the Futuresonic 2006 festival here.
The lucky few of you that will get coveted tickets to Glastonbury 2008 can see them perform on the John Peel stage on June 27.
Well done Katie and Jules! All that hardwork paid off…
UPDATE: Apple have also selected the Ting Tings song “Shut Up and Let me Go” for US TV adverts for the iPod+iTunes. Awesome. Watch on Apple and YouTube.

The last post was about the potential pitfalls of using social media.
This is rather more lighthearted and much shorter than previous posts.
Inspired by comments made by Doug Morris, CEO of Universal Music Group in the December edition of Wired, I have turned to musing on the effects of ‘free music’ on the evolving social media landscape.
