Resonance FM and Extra present a two-day festival of fundraising by the crème de la crème of London's experimental music and avant-garde performance scenes. These events are kindly curated by Kinn (17th October) and Will Hall of Dig That Treasure! (18th October).
After a year in its new home near London Bridge, Resonance is currently raising funds to expand its busy studio into a suite of three spaces equipped for live broadcast. Resonance FM offers London 100+ regular weekly programmes of a staggeringly wide-ranging kind, while the free-from alternative to the alternative that is Resonance Extra reaches out on small-scale DAB to Brighton & Hove, Cambridge, Greater London, Norwich, King's Lynn and Peterborough. Both stations attract nearly a million online listeners a year in over 100 countries. This grassroots global phenomenon relies on its outstanding pool of volunteer broadcasters: their gratis contributions to freedom of expression have garnered Resonance the prestigious Gold Award as Audio UK's "Network of the Year" for three years running. Resonance recently featured in a best-selling edition of the Big Issue curated by 10Foot, Britain’s most prolific graffiti tagger, with contributions from staff, contributors and fans.
