Liffey Sound 96.4fm
We are organising a FUNDRAISING EVENT to raise much needed funds for Liffey Sound FM. As you know, we are a community radio station that is operated, owned, and influenced by the community that we serve. We are a non-profit organisation and provide a mechanism for enabling individuals, groups, and communities to tell their own stories, to share experiences and, in a media-rich world, to become creators and contributors of media. We give a voice to those people who may never get to share their views and music and we feel that we generate a sense of connection, engagement or belonging within the wider community that is maybe missing from commercial stations.
The event will be a VIRTUAL FESTIVAL and we are looking for singer/songwriters, bands, DJs, spoken word performers, dancers who would be interested in supporting us to raise as much money as possible. What we would love you to do is to submit a VIDEO of up to 15 minutes of you performing and send it to us for transmission on Friday 28th August 2020.
Here is all the important information you need:
Closing Date: FRIDAY 21st AUGUST 2020 at 5pm
Email address for submissions: jonwhite@liffeysoundfm.ie
or via any of the following
WeTransfer
DropBox
Google Drive
Also, it would be great if you could remind people during your performance to donate to our GoFundMe page and mention our fundraising page as often as you can.
I hope you can support us and really hope you can send us a submission.
Thank you.
Stay safe & well - The Liffey Sound Team.

The Covid Collection…….
For our holiday issue, we are bringing you a selection of photographs from St. Mary’s Camera Soiree, some of which were featured in our online editions.
Throughout the lock-down, and thereafter, we received some beautiful images, many simply taken in the back garden, and within 2 kilometres of homes, until people could go further afield and capture more exotic scenes.
The members kept in touch through their Whatsapp Group, and in a stroke of good fortune for Lucan Newsletter, they were able to supply us with a weekly record of events.
The pictures span some 17 weeks, from Spring into Summer, hence our little black sheep and lambs, and seasonal blooms!
Nature certainly kept them going in no small measure, thanks to the beautiful country we live in, though we were privileged to receive some photographs from one of their members in Australia.
Well done to Michael Grant and all the members of St. Mary’s Soiree. We hope you have a nice summer break, and that you all keep snapping!
