Community

The Primordial Radio community has grown, year on year but we’re not just talking about people listening.

Primordial Radio is more than just the music, it’s :

• – Meeting up for festivals
• – Supporting local venues and up and coming new talent
• – Being able to go to a gigs with familiar or maybe new faces
• – About sharing the stories, the bands, the music and life
• – Being to help where you can – from sharing travel costs to advice on where to grab food or a pint
• – Networking without the suit and ties
• – The ability to share the good times and have support during the bad
• – Over 1700 actively involved, like minded people, brought together due to a common theme – Rock and Metal Music
• – If you want to get involved you can, if you don’t, that’s fine too

We’re not going anywhere, other than forwards and we’d like you to come along for the journey.

Fun

All work and no play is something we don’t do at Primordial Radio!

We like a get together – Primordial Radio is not about robots or automated scripts. What better way to catchup than over a brew or a beer ?

• – How many business AGM meetings do you know that finish with the likes of Massive Wagons, Evil Scarecrow, Big Boy Bloater, Milly Manders and the Shutup amongst others ?
• – We have a birthday party every year, enabling our community to get together, have a drink and socialise, often with cake !
• – Successfully launched our own range of beer – Primordial Sup
• – The Long Road to Brewin’ is our way of getting out and about within the UK, to meet up with friends we don’t yet know and we’ve hosted our own first Burns Supper to launch a new range of merch
• – As well as producing a regular, but evolving line of merchandise which is often commented on, Primordial Radio is the only Rock and Metal Station with it’s own registered tartan

Primordial Radio is its audience, the audience is Primordial.

Environmental

Or in our words, “EnviroMetal” strategy, from our popular Sea Word Podcast from Tom The BlowFish Hird helping to raise awareness of Conservation and the steps that need to be taken to help, to moving our studios to renewable energy suppliers. We’re trying to do out bit and help you do the same.

We became official Stockists of KaBloom SeedBoms which proved very popular and our upcoming drop ship merch will be environmentally friendly as well.

“Everyone says you must do more” – Primordial Radio is trying to do what we can, where we can.

Mental Health

At Primordial Radio we know that it is OK to not be OK and over the last two years, we have increased our efforts in helping, where we can, to raise awareness of Mental Health issues and to help raise funds for groups such as Manchester Mind, Sophie Lancaster Foundation and CALM.

And it’s not just “Primordial Radio”, our community, off their own bat, have hosted charity events and schemes to help similar organisations either in terms of equipment or donations to help their fund-raising.

Everyone helps where they can.

Innovation

At Primordial Radio we embrace innovation and want to push the limits of what we can do now or what we can do at the moment waiting for the tech to catch up.

• • – We ran the first online Pub Quiz where you had the choice to going the venue or playing from the comfort of your own home

• We launched StormBender, our very own bluetooth speaker
• – We launched our Primordial Radio app for both Android and Apple devices, developed and built with skills from within the Primordial Radio Community
• – Word of mouth and personal recommendation is a great PR tool but we don’t buy it or expect it. Primordial Radio does try to say thank you for spreading the Primordial word…from digital badges to your own stager to hosting your own show to getting Primordial Radio for life with our referral scheme
• – Believe it or not there is more to life than Primordial Radio, hence we setup an affiliate scheme to try and get you access to products and services you need(and yep, we get a few pennies from it)./li>
• Primordial Radio has broadcast live from various festivals & venues and from 30,000ft on a flight from Canada – with little more than a mobile and laptop
• – We hate gremlins and glitches but sometimes they are unavoidable – which is why why Primordial have a support system in place for you to get in touch and we’ll get you sorted as soon as we can

We want to push the boundaries and learn from our mistakes – do you ?
