[cma-l] Credit Crunch in the field

[TinternetRadio.com]

Dear CMA

Recently myself and a band of merry men stepped out of the studio to report
on how the live music scene is being affected by the recession around the UK
 We met a fine Irish New Yorker `Dan Donnelly` in St Helen's who now resides
in the UK,  Dan informs Red Carpet Radio that he has seen a dramatic fall in
numbers at live venues around the UK, including the Festival scene with the
Glastonbury festival seeing a 20,000 reduction on festival goers from last
year. 

Dan Donnelly is currently on Tour with his back garden credit crunch gigs
with many bookings taken over the Facebook network.
`This a way to keep going when the venues are not filling up anymore for the
fact that everybody is staying at home these days because they cant afford
to go out during the week, you become close friends with so many people, its
like you are part of the family having a private gig in back gardens around
the UK`

We also travelled to Escot park in Devon for the Beautiful Days Festival.
This sweet festival is into its 7th year founded by chart toppers the
Levellers. Bass player Jeremey Cunningham tells Red Carpet Radio how the
Festival had not been hit by credit crunch and breifly explains how
unfortunate it is that other bands have been affected. `The recession has
not really affected us because we actually started out as The Levellers
during the early nineties recession and things have progressed since thanks
to our hard core fanbase following`. says Levellers bassist, Jeremey
Cunningham

The full Interviews are for Airplay this Sunday evening from 7pm on

Subject: [cma-l] Using community radio for location-based games - it's
thefuture!
 
Anybody got any ideas as to how to use community radio for a
location-based game?  If you do it could be worth up to £25,000 in
funding to help cover the costs of developing and/or showcasing your
idea.
 
Futurelab is seeking ideas about new ways of learning with
'meaningful', mobile or locative games:
 
'Meaningful games' - games that enable learners to engage with
important issues such as learning, democracy, environment and
sustainability etc.
 
Mobile or locative games - games that are developed for use while
learners are on the move or interacting with the places, objects or
people around them.
 
If you would like further information or have an idea you would like
to submit, go to:

Opens 01 September to 08 October 2009.
