A message from an ardant FM supporter, Steve Price @ ARfm ...

"We have tried various methods of fundraising over the last few years, to be honest with limited success..... SO.... here's the million dollar question.

HOW DO WE RAISE MORE FUNDS in order to keep ARfm broadcasting?


ARfm has been going since Nov 2003 and some of our gear is now starting to wear out.

Our main PC (used for automation and our song database) is now on it's last legs with a very dodgy hard drive.

The Copyright Bodies will review their rates (that same ol' chesnut) in August and we are pretty confident they will not go down.

We have seen, like we all have, our Electric Bill rise dramatically in the last 12 months.

If you are a fan of ARfm and what we do then we welcome your suggestions as to how we can raise some dosh! Our accountant has suggested we need a minimum of £500 by October. This might be a large amount to some, a miniscule amount to others, but to us, at ARfm, it's a bloody nightmare. These are hard times (we have just been advised that GuitarStoreUK has ceased trading so we have lost one of our sponsors).

Suggestions to studio@arfm.co.uk please...

Finally, and I know we have said this before but if you wish to donate then every little amount helps. Donations can be made via PayPal to studio@arfm.co.uk."

get bands to submit some signed give-aways (ARFM are promoting them). These could be autioned!

Dell Boy eat your heart out!

Good idea Dave - email them with it!

Just did mate!

Word is they have been playing tracks from the new Ladder album!
