Global A Go-Go: Wednesday October 19, 3:00-5:00 PM

Global A Go-Go presents:

Richmond Independent Radio’s Fall 2016 Fund Drive is currently underway; it continues through Tuesday October 25. We’re aiming to raise $40,000 in this fall’s drive, which will keep WRIR bringing to your community its programs of underrepresented music, news and views, most of them produced in our very own studios by our 150 volunteers, for the next six months.

We need the support of about 500 folks just like you in order to keep community radio strong in Richmond. We have three easy ways for you to donate:

By visiting our secure online sites at https://www.wrir.org/renew (for a one-time contribution) or https://www.wrir.org/renew (for a monthly recurring donation)
By calling 804-622-9747
Or by visiting us in person at 1621-B W. Broad Street (2nd floor)

As always, I have something special lined up for Global A Go-Go listeners during the fund drive: the outstanding new band Zgomot will be playing live in the studio during my show Wednesday October 19 between 3 and 5 PM. Zgomot features two legendary Richmond musicians: drummer Pippin Barnett (known for his work with the Ululating Mummies, the Orthotonics and Happy Lucky Combo) and bassist Tim Harding (founder of the bands Hotel X, Always August and New Loft). The quartet is completed by guitarists Gary Kalar and Vlad Cuiujuclu, who also play together in Yeni Nostalji; Vlad does the band’s singing in English, Romanian and Russian.

There will also be a special matching donation during the show. Tune in Wednesday at 3 PM at 97.3 FM or http://www.wrir.org/listen to find out how to double your contribution to WRIR. If you can’t listen at that time, there’s no need to wait — you can make your contribution right now, or any time until October 25!

Thank you for your support in the past, and thank you for considering making a donation during WRIR’s Fall 2016 Fund Drive!
