CANDO FM
It's been a long time coming and over the last few years a new radio station for Barrow In Furness is getting ready to launch on FM. It has been broadcasting on the internet for over 4 years and has grown from strength to strength.
At some point in 2015 Barrow will have its own community radio station broadcasting on 106.3 FM. It currently broadcasts 24hrs a day on line at www.candofm.co.uk
Check out their website and see what you think. Also look out for CandoFM on facebook.

A message from Rosie and Matt of "April Maybe May"
2 gigs this week - Cumbria and London!
Alright!
The mighty AMM show continues this week with appearances at opposite ends of the country.
Saturday 27th June we play at Dent Folk Festival in Cumbria. This will be our second appearance at the festival following a memorable show in 2006. We really enjoy the festival, it's a great setting and atmosphere, and this year Ade Edmonson and the Bad Shepherds are headlining!
Following our camping trip in Dent we will be heading south to London for our second capital gig. This time we're in Soho, at The Mighty Craic on Greek Street. The show starts at 7.30 and we're on at 8.15. The other acts are Tam Walker and Melpomeni, who is one of the Medieval Babes. It's £5 in, but if you email us we'll put you on the guest list which means you'll get a quid off!
the London gig at The Mighty Craic, Soho, is on Tuesday 30th June at 7.30pm.
Thank you to Andrew Allan and Barry Bonus for pointing that out in their alliterative way. Who's next, Craig Cooper? Donald Duck?
Right, how do you put a tent up?

Easter weekend gigs across Furness
Looking for a great nighe out this easter weekend.
Hart and Soul
Super Soul Sunday @ The Last Orders with Hart & Soul.
Pop down for a pint on Sunday and have a boogie! You'll all be drunety drunk by then anyway! Fun Times! :)
ROXY ULVERSTON
A special chart event on Saturday and a Retro 70s and 80s event on Easter Sunday (with free entry all night for those in fancy dress).
THE CANTEEN
Sunday is the Canteen’s traditional big Easter show with Liverpool’s Major Major headlining a who’s who of local talent. Among the bands on the bill include The Relics, The Mooncats, Ramirez, Don’t Tell Grant (acoustic) and Dropping Point. Tickets as ever are on the doors which open at 7.30pm. Also on Easter Sunday in the Cinema Room is the much awaited Luke Solomon and A Darker Disco DJ event in the Cinema Room from 9pm.
THE KINGS (Dalton Road - Barrow In Furness)
Easter Sunday, Homegrown present the first Super Sunday of the year.
Featured are no less than eight acts, among them Homegrown DJs, Media Monkeys, Musical Mayhem, The Mooncats DJ set, Ste Tyson from The Prophets DJing, Mister Sushi, and full live band Zenfo.
On top of that are a few mystery guests plus live graffiti in the garden – weather permitting.
All of this plus nice atmosphere, friendly people and a jaegermeister machine, beserk medicine at sub zero temperatures.
Proceedings begin at 4pm, with Mooncats and Prophets selections from past and present followed by Musical Mayhem's Steve Graham with an eclectic blend of funk, soul and grooves
Playing live are Manchester's Zenfo. This laid back hip-hop quartet have been busy around their hometown scene, playing at the Warehouse project and supporting Nightmares on Wax to name just two recent highlights.
Getting the dancefloor moving will be Media Monkeys, on top form with the latest breaks, beats and maybe a little old school magic for good measure, while Mister Sushi will round off with breakbeat, dubstep and twisted disco.
With the new sound system now complete, the friendly atmosphere and quality line-up, this should be a Sunday session to remember.
Ends 3am and entry is free.

The Mooncats - Update
They`ve appeared live on Abbey FM in the past and are well known locally in Barrow in Furness, Cumbria....
Quote from the mooncats:
The Mooncats began when a series of like minded musicians, (sick of hearing bands that could be easily pigeon holed) formed a bond with an urban poet, and began honing their craft. In a very short space of time, The Mooncats were spreading their tales of Barrow life all over the North West of England. The music seemed to come effortlessly, the lyrics almost wrote themselves. The very town that we live in inspired us to write what we write and play how we play. Over the two years or so of The Mooncats full existence (to the form it is today), there have been one or two minor changes made to the line up. Creative differences occur at the best of times, what's said is said, and the future is there for the taking, we don't dwell on what's happened, but take it, build on it, and head to the future.
Since the bands creation many moons ago, there have been some vast and incredible musical journeys occur. The people we have met so far along the way have been incredible and we have made some fantastic friends from being involved in the music industry.
Some of the acts, local, national and even international, we have had the pleasure of working with along the way are:
Neville Staple (The Specials), Miles Hunt (The Wonderstuff), The Airborne Toxic Event, The Holloways, Cajun Dance Party, Sevens, The Dead Class, Gear, Vinnie Peculiar & Many, many more!
2009 is looking to be a very exciting year for The Mooncats as we plan to release both our debut single and album. We hope that many of you take the time to listen to what we do and enjoy it, we are all very happy with how the album sounds and are really excited for the launch.
As with any band, we have had our fair share of feedback from promoters, venues and such, here's what some of them said:
