Local Radio For Local People

209radio are aiming to become “a full-scale Community Radio Station for Cambridge”. They’ve already got a web radio stream, and seem quite involved in the local music scene.

I wonder if they’ll resurrect the “live karaoke” from Cambridge’s last community broadcasting - Red TV? Let’s hope not.

Anyway, if you’ve ever wanted to feel like a celebrity, now’s your chance. 209radio are having a benefit gig next Friday (27th August 2004), and the only way to get in is if you email them beforehand so your name gets on the list. Okay, so you still have to pay your £7 to get in, but if you take along some friends you don’t like much, you can look important as they get turned away.

I expect I’ll be there.
