The fundraiser is set to continue on air over the next week as the station urges lovers of their sounds to take out a subscription or make a donation to fund their operations over the next year.

The 10 day extravaganza kicked off this morning with Earlybirds, an early morning celebration which saw energetic early-rising fans of the station sipping Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s at a live outside broadcast of the station’s breakfast program.

Led by new host Pam Boland and DJ collective Nest FM DJs providing a under-cool soundtrack for the morning, it was a great start to a Friday morning.

The celebrations will continue on Saturday night with a massive Northbridge takeover. Featuring over 30 artists across 6 stages at The Bird, Astral Weeks, The Rechabite and Ezra Pound, it’s going to be a huge night celebrating local music.

Buying a ticket will not only sort out your Saturday night plans, you’ll also see some of the best local music on offer, and you’ll be supporting independent community radio.
