PLAYLISTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
With so many presenters playing new music, and with the present inability of singers and musicians to earn income from indoor shows and gigs, they are even more dependent on revenue from sales of downloads, CDs and merchandise. DJs are usually careful to announce names of performers, but if you happen to miss this information, there is usually a podcast available with a playlist, these posted usually on the DJ's social media account and/or on the Solar Radio Group Page on Facebook.
SOLAR RADIO BROADCASTING PLATFORMS
Solar Radio is available to listeners on a range of streaming platforms including our free branded apps for iPhone and Android mobile devices, and similarly with smart speakers such as Echo Dot and Google now available from web dealers and electrical retailers, plus Internet Radios. Solar Radio is also readily available via other apps including TuneIn Radio and RadioplayerUK, and directly from our website at www.solarradio.com.
Solar Radio has also been involved in the path-finding small-scale DAB experiment, and is currently available on DAB+ in the Inner London area (within the North and South Circular Roads), Birmingham, Brighton and Norwich.
PUBLIC HEALTH MATTERS
PUBLIC HEALTH MATTERS; We wish to reassure listeners and customers that, with regard to Solar Radio events, the situation is under constant review, and we will advise accordingly with any updates..
#BLM
Solar Radio supports the moral aims of the #BLM movement and we have been deeply saddened by the tragedies as reported.
The Black Lives Matter movement has shone a necessary light on the injustices, inequality and systematic racism that BAME people face. We acknowledge that while our presenters and volunteers reflect cultural diversity and we are committed to inclusivity, it is necessary to continue to educate in order to represent the needs of our diverse community.
Many of our presenters have spoken on air about BLM. Furthermore, entire shows have been dedicated to the subject including Lisa I'Anson, Andrea Robertson, Jessie Tsang & Freddie Lee with Angus Kemp, Fitzroy, and the BLM playlist hour with Neil Francis, all of these presenters are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
As Black music is the core of our output, we are aware the foundation of the music we cherish and celebrate was born out of the oppression of marginalised communities. As much as gospel can be separated from its roots as a survival mechanism and the call for freedom and the driving bass beat of dance music can be expressed as simply 'having a good time', we understand it is much more than that. We know there is a need to try to make a change for everybody. We are not merely non-racist but ANTI-racist. We are your Soul Station, we are in this together and this is our fight too. Keep on keeping on
“I am not naive because as a black man in America born at the time in this country that I was, I am very aware, but I try not to allow myself to see things through the prism of black and white. I always try to view things through the prism of what is right and what is wrong.” Quincy Jones

There is no automatic refund for cancellations unless we have published a 'Buy Back' message - any returns will be offered to any Waiting List customers for re-sale.
