A message from our founder
|
Mechanical Music Radio was founded in 2018 as a personal hobby, and I’m committed to running this unique internet radio station for as long as I can. However, it costs over £2,500 each year to cover equipment, licenses, and technology needed to keep it professional and running smoothly.
If you enjoy listening to our station, your support through a donation would be greatly appreciated. We are currently crowdfunding to help sustain this project. Thank you so much for your support. James Dundon Founder, Mechanical Music Radio |

Download and print out poster for display. The poster is high resolution so can be printed as large as you like. 
Also, you can easily print some leaflets. For economy, you can print two leaflets onto a sheet of A4, and we've kept the background white so it doesn't eat your printer ink!
Thank you for your support to spread the word.
