Resonance FM is devoting the entire weekend to its annual on-air Fundraising Marathon. Over 100 experiences, items, artworks, rareties and more – all donated by our generous supporters and all up for grabs this weekend.

The reason? We need the money. The cuts have affected us already and the future looks uncertain for all arts organisations including ours. Our content is offered to you FREE throughout the year, so if you like what you hear (or want to broadcast something better yourself), please dig into your pockets and offer a DONATION or BID IN THE AUCTION.

Among the lots for auction is a day in the team car of Rapha-Condor-Sharp. Sitting alongside the Directeur Sportif, you’ll get a unique view of the inside of a professional bike race in the Rapha-Condor-Sharp 2011 race calendar, e.g. the Rás, the Lincoln GP, Ryedale GP etc.

Normally this opportunity is only available to Rapha-Condor-Sharp ‘pink stripe’ members (£1,500 a year subscription), at a cost of £250 per day.

Other lots include a bass guitar lesson with John Paul Jones of Led Zepellin, Tracey Emin’s only sound work (edition of one), a fortnight in the Himalayas and other artworks, records, books and experiences.

More details at the Resonance FM website auction page (including item photos & descriptions and a live board showing current winning bids). Listen in until Midnight on Sunday evening – it’s a live broadcast marathon anchored by Jonny Trunk on Saturday and Bob & Roberta Smith on Sunday.
