We just wanted to let you know about a great charity event that’s
happening in Leeds over this week. Its for the charity Jeans for
Genes. It’s entirely internet based, free to enter and you could win
celebrity signed jeans. All you have to do is figure out the location
from the clue on the website www.weararemyjeans.com. We’re really
excited about this event and would be great if you might be able to
feature it in any way. I’ve attached the press release for more info
and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We at ELFM are dead chuffed as we have just posted our 50th podcast (the honour going to Streetlights). We only started podcasting back in August which means we’ve averaged over 5 podcasts a month, which is pretty darn good for a community radio station And of course we’re still making them all the time so keep an ear out!

Remember if you want to make a podacst then why not come along to one of our meetings or get in touch on info@elfm.co.uk

Here’s to another 50!!!

Another brilliant broadcast yesterday! A big thanks to everyone who presented, played live, helped out and listened. Make sure you keep checking back for the ‘Best Of’ podcasts from Sundays broadcast which we will be posting over the next couple of weeks. They will include performances from all three live acts that were on the air Streetlights, Maggie 8 and Odi.

Remember if you have any thoughts on any of the content this site why not post a comment and let everyone know what you are thinking.

Another Sunday and another ELFM broadcast. This Months broadcast was as interesting as ever, my personal highlight has to be the “United as One” show which showcased the life of young African’s in Harehills. As well as some genuinely funny chat, they played a mixture of music genres - from African through to UK Grime.

Once again our friends from the Leeds Kurdish Community Association put on an interesting mix of music and chat - it’d be interesting next time to hear about the Association’s work as well as the influence of Kurdish culture on the area. Finally we reprised the popular “In the Boudoir” show. Shared between 3 local acts we had live music from Streetlights, Maggie 8 and ODi. They all sounded amazing from my view point (in the studio listening through headphones) and the interviews were quite enlightening as well. All 3 acts had to choose some tracks to be played after their live set, again some interesting choices - some unexpected.

What could be better for the next broadcast? More people sticking around after their slots, I know we’re all volunteers but the bands that come along later in the day need our support, more people in the room would make the performances even better - it would make clearing up afterwards easier as well!!

Roll on the next internet broadcast on Sunday June 1st.

If you want to learn more why not come along to the next meeting on May 21st? Full details can be found here.
