CMA offers free online sessions on Community Radio Fund applications

The Community Media Association is running three free online sessions in to help stations apply for this year’s Community Radio Fund.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has increased the fund to £900,000 for 2025-26, but there will only be one round of applications instead of the usual two. With demand expected to be high, the CMA says it is vital that applications are as strong as possible.
Each session will feature Mark Jones, Chair of the Community Radio Fund Panel, who will share advice on what applicants should consider.
CMA Treasurer Richard Hilton, a former panel member, will guide participants through the application process and highlight common pitfalls, including areas where supporting documentation is often incomplete. A recently successful station is also expected to join, offering practical tips from experience.
The sessions are open to all, not just CMA members, and will run on Saturday 13th September at 10am, Wednesday 17th September at 7pm, and Monday 22nd September at 7pm. Each will cover the same material, so attendees only need to join once.
The events are free to attend thanks to support from PPL, and registration is available through the CMA Eventbrite page.

Classic FM to air Honours of Scotland Concert from Balmoral

Classic FM will broadcast The Honours of Scotland Concert from Balmoral Castle this Friday, 5th September at 7pm.

The concert was recorded last week, and features works originally performed at the Honours of Scotland National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication in July 2023.
Presented by Alan Titchmarsh, the hour-long programme brings together musicians from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, of which The King is Patron, alongside leading Scottish performers.
The line-up includes mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill, the Ayoub Sisters, accordionist Ryan Corbett, and fiddler Raemond Jappy, performing music inspired by Scotland’s landscapes, history, and poetry.
The concert opens with Hamish MacCunn’s By the Burnside and includes works by contemporary composers such as Jay Capperauld and Joanna Gill, as well as pieces rooted in folk traditions. It concludes with Dougie MacLean’s Caledonia and Paul Mealor’s The Call of Lochnagar, first heard during the 2023 Honours of Scotland Service.
Alan Titchmarsh said: “This concert is such a special evening, in one of Scotland’s most historic rooms, filled with music that speaks to the heart and soul of the nation.
“To hear such extraordinary talent gathered in Balmoral’s Ballroom in the Presence of The King and Queen was a privilege, and I’m delighted that Classic FM listeners across the UK will be able to share in it too.”
