3. CONCERTS.CKDU.CA
Ta da! Thanks to hard work by George Dalli and Catherine Chapman, CKDU's brand new live concert archive is up and running featuring recordings from last year's summer Jazz Fest and the spring Out Like A Lion festival. Check it out here.
Now that it's up and running, we will be adding more content each week. Do you have live recordings? Would you like to do some live recordings? We hope to represent lots of different genres of music, and really give the internet a glimpse of Halifax's amazing local music scene.
4. JAZZFEST IS HERE! RECORD SHOWS, DO INTERVIEWS!
JazzFest is upon us starting tomorrow night! Tune in to Operation Wake Up weekdays just before 9am for Festival Tent weather reports. Check out concerts.ckdu.ca for awesome glimpses of last year's fest. And keep an ear out for interviews and special guests on 88.1FM.
CKDU is looking for programmers interested in recording live shows during JazzFest, to add to our CKDU Concert Archive. Email catherine@ckdu.ca if you are interested.
Also, Catherine is helping facilitate interviews with the performers at the Jazz Festival, including in-studio performances in some cases. Are you interested? Get in touch!
5. CKDU'S YOUTH RADIO CAMP NEEDS YOUR HELP!
6. CALLING ALL PROUD CKDUers!
CKDU will be marching in the Pride Parade this year along with a Dalhousie University contingent. We are supplying the sound system and music to play from the enormous Dal Tigers bus. Please come and join your fellow radio folk on the march. We have CKDU banners to hold and flyers to hand out. Also: fudgesicles to help keep you cool!
We will gather at the marshalling grounds (bottom of Cornwallis Street) starting at noon on Saturday July 24th, and parading from 1pm to 3pm. If you see us along the parade route, please feel free to join in! And don't forget to wear your CKDU t-shirt!
