A-Z list of AWIL artists & guests

Read below the list of names who artists and guests who have featured on DJ Ritu's A world In London show since 2007. (apologies for any omissions!)

Many of these artists are London based - where other than A World In London would they have had the opportunity to appear on the BBC?

How would these artists be represented in the future?

Looking forward to your comments...
