Calon FM Fundraiser
Donation protected
A concert is being held to raise funds to enable Wrexham-based community radio station Calon FM to continue broadcasting . The concert will be taking place on Saturday 19 October 2019 at 7pm.
The not-for-profit station is run by a team of volunteers who broadcast 24/7 to provide a range of shows featuring community news, arts, business, specialist music and live sports coverage. Previously the radio station received financial support to enable it to run, but this was cut in 2018 and funds are now needed to cover all licensing costs and remain on air.
The fundraising evening has been arranged by Calon FM’s Sunday Classical Crossover show presenter Jannie Rawlinson. Jannie has been presenting the show for 4 years.
The concert will feature nine classical crossover artists who are all donating their time to support the station to show their appreciation for the long-standing support and exposure Jannie’s show has given them. Amongst the artists performing on the night will be Lucy Thomas, Keedie Green and Hercules Smith as seen on ITV’s “The Voice Kids”, BBC One’s “The Voice” and BBC One’s “Let it Shine” respectively. They will be joined by royal composer Olga Thomas and soprano Elan Catrin Parry, originally from Wrexham, who is now signed to Decca records. The concert will also feature musical theatre performer Adam Lacey, Natasha Hardy, Beth Ford and Joanna Forest whose debut album went straight to number one on the Official Classical Album Charts.
The support of the the listeners and Wrexham community is so important to us here at Calon FM and we are so grateful that we have such a wonderful audience. The Calon FM team of volunteers would like to thank you for your donation, it means the world to us!
