Sheffield Live! to Broadcast from the Fourth Plinth

On 21st July at 8pm, Alan Fransman will broadcast a live radio show from the Fourth Plinth on Trafalgar Square for his local Community Radio station, Sheffield Live! 93.2FM.  Fransman and the broadcast will become part of ‘One & Other’, sculptor Antony Gormley’s project to create an astonishing living monument.  The show will be heard by people on Trafalgar Square, across Sheffield on 93.2FM and around the world on www.sheffieldlive.org

“Gormley’s project is people’s art and community radio is people’s media,” said Fransman. “My time on the plinth will be a demonstration of the creativity, initiative and resourcefulness that exists in the community media sector.  It will also be a celebration of Sheffield and the exciting cultural product we create at Sheffield Live!”

The broadcast will bring news from Sheffield and break new music from Sheffield’s vibrant music scene.  Fransman will also play exclusive tracks, not heard before on any other radio station.  Listeners in Trafalgar Square, Sheffield and around the world will have an opportunity to interact with Alan and each other with text messages and he will share them with the audience.

Sangita Basudev, Chief Executive of Sheffield Live! said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the true spirit of Sheffield Live! bringing people together, regardless of the boundaries between them. For one hour, people in London and people in Sheffield will share a special connection through this broadcast.”
