A Message from Mark Vernon, a Sura Medura artist:

Dear Friends,

I just wanted to share the exciting news that Glasgow’s art radio station has returned to the airwaves.

We’re into the fourth day of our broadcasts and will continue up until midnight on Sunday 19^th November, 24 hours a day.

We are transmitting on 87.9FM in the Glasgow area. A live webstream is available for listeners outside of Glasgow at radiophrenia.scot/listen/

A major feature of our programme is a series of live-to-air events at CCA Glasgow. These events are free and you can find more details here: radiophrenia.scot/live-to-air/

In addition, with the support of Creative Scotland, Outset and the Jerwood Foundation, we have been able to commission 14 new works from an international selection of sound and radio artists. Details can be found at: radiophrenia.scot/commissions/

Thanks to all the artists, writers, musicians and producers who submitted work to our open call we have managed to assemble an incredibly diverse range of radio experiments from all around the world. I hope that you will be able to tune in for at least some of the broadcasts and enjoy some of the amazing work on offer.

Very best wishes,

Mark.
