Community radio station RTRFM 92.1 celebrates its 40th anniversary this year with a series of events that celebrate the past and look to the future.

It begins with the star-studded Neon Picnic, showcasing the sounds of the past and the present. Come and watch live radio happen on April 1 from 9am to 5pm in Hyde Park, and commemorate a series of RTRFM festivals held under the name Neon Picnic in the late 80s and early 90s.

Errol H Tout will deliver his unique and otherworldly brand of guitar music. Errol’s musical objective is to describe a moment or a feeling, and that will definitely be the case on April 1.

Three life-long friends of the station and absolute local legends are helping celebrate in style. Alsy MacDonald, Jill Birt and Martyn P Casey will perform several Triffids songs as a trio. This is truly a rare treat not to be missed.

They’re joined by a beloved band coming out of retirement for RTRFM; the poptastic Bank Holidays (pictured above). Yes!

Expect classics and new favourites performed acoustically and enthusiastically!
