Resonance On The Ground

A series of fundraising concerts for Resonance FM & Extra by acts from across London's avant-garde, experimental music and performance art scenes. As a grassroots charity Resonance relies on volunteer broadcasters and engineers; for three years running, their gratis contributions to freedom of expression earned the station the prestigious Gold Award as Audio UK's "Network of the Year”, a prize for which we are nominated again. Resonance now reaches 1.5 million listeners a year in over 100 countries – join us on the ground to help keep this remarkable project on the air.

Scam Warning! Fraudsters are impersonating Resonance broadcasters and asking for payment to appear on our radio station. Resonance does not charge guests or contributors to take part in our broadcasts. If you receive a suspicious approach or any unexpected request for payment, please do not respond to it, instead contact Resonance using its official email address contact@resonancefm.com for verification and next steps.

Calling All Pensioners

[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week, reactions to the Chancellor's recent Autumn Budget: National pensioners’ charity, Age UK, highlight that not enough for older people was proposed, especially for those who are on lower incomes; The Centre for Ageing Better expresses a mixture of welcome relief for low-income pensioners alongside disappointment regarding a lack of support for older workers and accessible housing; Independent Age’s campaigner, Josh, reacts that there were some tangible positive changes and some disappointment too; and Britain’s largest older people’s movement, the National Pensioners Convention, observes that it only needs one bill to increase and an older person’s budget goes out the window and they are in crisis. Our further musical tribute is to Lena Martell who was aged 86 and a Scottish singer and Broadway performer with a long career in theatre, television and musicals. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
