If you are in Sydney and even vaguely interested in jazz, you have probably spent some time listening to
89.7 eastside radio.
It's a community radio station where the primary focus is jazz. No commercialism, just people who are interested in the music playing stuff that they want to hear - so very refreshing from the processed garbage which is strewn across most of the rest of the dial.
Being a community organisation, much of their income is from their members. Once a year they have a membership drive - this year is
no exception.
My membership has lapsed while I have been overseas, and even though I listen to less radio now than I used to (thanks mostly to
podcasting), when I do listen to the radio 90% of the time it is these guys, and as such I will be renewing.
If you are interested in the music, I urge you to help the station out.
