On the Market Place last weekend volunteers from Radio Abingdon Xtra braved the cold to promote what hopefully will become Abingdon’s community radio station. They already have a number of podcasts, and a show featuring music by local bands, and have been streaming royalty free music since January 1st.

Currently they are a small group and need more people to help make this community project take off – that could involve making programmes, or helping in other ways. They are also looking for a main sponsor to help pay for a licence to play more mainstream music.

They will be back on the Market Place on Saturday 16th Feb.
