Currently a 5 to 6 piece line up with guests. They have backed PAT POWELL from Australia (Melbourne Ska Orchestra), and reggae legend DENNIS BOVELL. The band have supported / shared stages with DJ Derek, Susan Cadogan, The bEAT, Roy Ellis from Symarip, Roddy Radiation, Lee Thompson, Macka B, Neville Staple, Dreadzone, Mark Foggo, Pama International, Chris Murray, Keith & Tex, Rudy Mills, & The Steady 45s.

Erin Bardwell Collective played a live radio session on the Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music show on 22nd April 2008. Three tunes were performed - Slaving For Bread, Spray It & Burn It, and Guns, Bombs & Madness, and an interview with Erin took place. Slaving For Bread and Guns, Bombs & Madness were repeated on Tom Robinsons 'Introducing' show in June 2008. Studio recordings of all three tracks can be found within the back catalogue. 

Airplay on BBC 6 Music started for the band back in 2006 when Phill Jupitus played the Copenhagen track from their Volume 2 CD on his breakfast show. More airplay followed in 2008 on 6 Music with Tom Robinson playing the Fry Up single and Gideon Coe playing the Evaporator track from their Volume 3 album. Steve Lamacq then picked up on the band in 2011 by playing the Moody Man single on Radio 6 & his Radio 2 show. In 2012 he continued his support for the group by playing selected tracks from the Bringing The Hope album (the tunes Time On Our Side & The Doctor Said)

The GREAT WESTERN REGGAE SOUNDCLASH album has gained airplay on BBC 6 Music (Jan 2018), and other radio stations in VENEZUELA, and other shows such as Dublin Near FM Ska Patrol Show and Swindon 105.5 fm (DJ ANDY V Random Reggae Show) plus Wolfman Radio. And many others...........
