Virtual gig raises £1000 for community radio station
A virtual concert featuring more than a dozen local musicians and bands has raised a thousand pounds for CalonFM, Wrexham’s community radio station.
The online gig, coordinated by one of CalonFM’s volunteers Chris Ingram, raised a total of £1,055 and will go towards ensuring the station is back on the airwaves.
Heather Wilson, one of the directors of Wrexham Community Broadcasting, which is looking to retain CalonFM’s broadcasting licence, said: “Fundraising during Covid has been very difficult and we were really grateful for everybody’s support in getting this off the ground. Chris played a huge role in organising and coordinating the musicians and poets such as Evrah Rose so a big thanks to him.
