Ragtime, a recruitment site for graduates and undergraduates is boosting its university profile with huge music initiatives. Commencing in November 2004, Ragtime will be providing the online recording of the UK’s top musical talent from university towns and cities around the UK. Commencing in February 2005, Ragtime will be undertaking the biggest live UK university tour across the UK. All in support of the best emerging unsigned bands and musicians.
Ragtime manages the undergraduate placement schemes for companies such as O2 and BT, and has payrolled thousands of undergraduates on behalf of major clients over the past few years. Ragtime also provides the background technology and management of BT’s undergraduate placement web site http://bt.ragtime.com
Ragtime Unsigned (on www.ragtime.com) features an exceptional playlist of some of the best unsigned music to be heard in the UK. Ragtime Live promises to be the highest profile series of (university-based) unsigned events in the UK at 400 capacity university venues around the country.
Richard Walker, director of Ragtime said Our music offering is as mainstream as our recruitment service - each complements the other. Ragtime has positioned itself at the forefront of student music consumption because the market of music listeners and gig attendees is exactly the same market from which Ragtime seeks to recruit talented young graduates.
Ragtime is currently building a chart of unsigned music based on the opinions of its community and their online votes. Bands who achieve greatest popularity will be invited to play at Ragtime live in 2005. Popular bands will also have the opportunity of earning income from downloads from ragtime.com
