A RIPPLE ON THE RADIO!
The Ripple is a not-for-profit organisation with a brief to mount unique creative platforms for Lewes based music-makers and performers. Since 2018 it has worked with venues such as The Con Club, The Royal Oak and the Westgate Chapel. Events have also been held at Depot Cinema and The Union Music Store. The Ripple will return with another mini-festival on May Bank Holiday 2020.
Rocket FM is the community radio station for Lewes and surrounding villages in East Sussex, UK. Now in its nineteenth year, Rocket FM broadcasts on 87.8FM (and online via the website) in the run up to the unique and historic Lewes Bonfire celebrations. Listen to 2019 programming online now! And from Saturday 26th October on FM too, continuing until 6th November.
The Lamb of Lewes is a historic pub and music venue on Fisher St. The new management have installed a stage, lights and sound system in order to present a variety of music nights free of charge. Music loves the Lamb - and the Lamb loves music.
These 3 entities came together for a Live Broadcast featuring performers who have featured in previous Ripple events this year. On Sunday evening 3rd November between 7 and 11 pm ten acts were interviewed live on air by Chief Rippler Steve 'Snips' Parsons, invited to pick tracks that have inspired them and played a few songs to a live audience. It was a memorable evening!
AND THIS IS JUST THE START. THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME!
