<div dir="ltr"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Press release:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Leading local community radio station Castledown FM has announced the
success of its most ambitious outside broadcast coverage to date. Appointed as
the official media partner for Tidworth Town Festival 2016, the volunteers at
Castledown FM took it one step further and covered the entire 13 hour event
live on FM and the internet.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Working alongside Core4Events, who organised many aspects of the day
and worked with the radio station on event promotion, the volunteer members built
a temporary studio to cover the event live, and gave air time to multiple
guests including stallholders and members of Tidworth Town Council. During the
afternoon and evening they transmitted the live artists and bands, bringing the
atmosphere and excitement of the event into the homes of those that could not
attend this free event.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Organised by Tidworth Town Council volunteers and Core4Events, this year’s
festival featured a large number of stalls from all around the community,
including Tesco and the 1<sup>st</sup> Tidworth Scouts, and arena displays
including a return of the ever popular ShowOff Dance and the local Tae Kwan Do group. <br>
<br>Core4Events provided a full music stage which hosted artists including
last year’s Festival Factor talent competition Tamzin Stead along with this
year’s winner Paige Dobson. Live bands took over the stage in the evening with
local group 80 Proof Mojo warming up the audience for the headline act, Not the
Rolling Stones.<br>
<br>
John Sparrow, Events Manager, Castledown FM, said: "We were delighted to
be appointed as media partner for such an important local event. We had several
planning meetings with Core4Events and our own teams and it was during one of those
meetings that we decided to attempt the entire day live on radio from the
venue. It's on the outer edge of what is feasible in terms of our technology,
but we were able to use both an IP link via the Tidworth Town Councils
community hall and a backup FM link to broadcast the event to the local
community. It's been a fantastic project to work on and I am looking forward to
working with Core4Events in the future."<br>
<br>
Rick Young, owner and Managing Director, Core4Events added: "John and his
team from Castledown FM provided coverage of the event from 9am until the end
of the headline band Not the Rolling Stones at 10pm, as well as providing the
arena public event system and managing the arena events. Their dedication,
positive attitude and patience, combined with their technical expertise, were imperative
to the success of the event.”</p>
