Fairtunes official launch party - Wednesday 21st October 2009
THANK YOU
A huge thank you to everyone who celebrated the official launch of FairTunes with us last night – including Steve Chandrasonic, all the bands, The Monarch, all the volunteers who helped and of course all of you. Please keep in touch join the FaceBook group.
FairTunes was founded in 2006 and established in 2009 by music-industry professionals with the objective of providing music and radio studios for people in impoverished communities. FairTunes aims to specialise in supplying equipment and training, whilst creating opportunities for involvement in music and media.
FairTunes is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to using the power of music to enhance people’s lives in developing nations. We intend to set up training programmes and create recording studios and radio facilities in community centres within deprived areas.
Our vision is to mobilise local talent and help musicians, artists and other members of the community fulfil their potential. We want to provide the opportunity for individuals to learn new skillsets and enable impoverished communities to develop artistically.
The ultimate aim of FairTunes is to leave the community with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain the facilities and resources we have set up for them. This method – creating a self-sustaining cycle – will empower the programme’s participants whilst building a network of reciprocal teaching and learning.
