Editing BBC Music Artist Pages. Anyone know how to add images

Good afternoon all. Quite a specific question this, basically I am hoping to make some updates to to a BBC music page. I wondered if anyone knew if artist images are added by the BBC or a developer?
An example is http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/d8915e13-d67a-4aa0-9c0b-1f126af951af where Hot Chip have an artist image but The Jags do not http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/be9ff01a-fd3f-44d1-badf-b8a7cef4529e.
Does anyone have any advice?

    Are you trying to edit a BBC page? Do you work for the BBC?

    The BBC site links into a 3rd party site called "http://musicbrainz.org"
    any changes to that site is pulled into the BBC page.

    it's like Wikipedia, users can update information when registered..

    I suggest the OP start here and register to edit the page:
    http://musicbrainz.org/artist/be9ff01a-fd3f-44d1-badf-b8a7cef4529e.html


    Or just click the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of each page and ask them how you add an image.

    Hi poppy10, no I am not trying to edit a BBC page as such. Their beta version of music profile pages "scrape" information from Wikipedia and MusicBrainz. I can't seem to find where their pictures are from though!

    Many thanks for your time S0loitaire. MusicBrainz unfortunately host images, I have tried that already.
    I haveseen BBC music profile pages with artists pictures on where they have no MusicBrainz or Wikipedia pages available, so it's from another source. They could bee the BBC's own images?

    They might be BBC's own images.

    Try contacting BBC. Since it's in Beta they will be quick to reply.
