Soundart Radio proudly announces the return of the station’s annual First Spark festival.Initially held in 2009, when we began broadcasting on our Community Radio licence, First Spark is a weekend of radio experiments to coincide with the ancient festival of Imbolc, or Candlemas (also ‘Groundhog Day’) that falls at the beginning of February. It marks the midway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, and is when we begin to feel the earliest signs of Spring. Small shoots, the earliest flowers, frogs coming out of hibernation. It is a better time than New Year’s Day to kick off a good habit; a better time than Twelfth Night to take down Christmas decorations. For us, it is a time to consider the First Sparks of ideas, energy, electricity, transmission – a radiogenic point in the calendar.
Our new studio in Higher Close that we moved to in 2024 is a haven for music, craft, costumes, and playful performances. We have a beautiful dance floor, stage and DJ booth now built. The bar will be serving drinks and offering free lunch. Come dive into this artistic journey, shake off the winter blues, and embrace the vibrant energy of spring.
Come along to our studio in the old Student Union bar (Room One, Higher Close, Dartington Hall, TQ9 6EP) or tune in throughout the day online or FM
