Edinburgh’s favourite monthly retro club night returns next Thursday, brought to you by those cool cats at Fresh Air.

There will be bags of choice 50’s and 60’s tunes from the hippest Fresh Air DJ’s. Also, gnarly surf rock ‘n’ rollers The Tri-Tones are returning, providing live music to get your groove on to. Leather jackets and slicked-back quiffs?…What more could you ask for?!

So don’t be a square man, get decked out in your coolest threads and strole on down to Medina this coming Thursday.

Thursday, May 22
Medina, Lothian Street
10pm - 3am
£3 entry

Dear patient listeners,

The 4 weeks that were spring break have come and gone, and we hope that you have enjoyed any freedom from responsibility that you may have received. But now it is time to come back inside from your frolicks and enjoy a different kind of fresh air, because the latest broadcast starts NOW!

It has been a long 4 weeks without us, we know, but we are back for one more month before we disband for the summer:

April 19th - May 23rd

There are not as many shows this term, but every show is longer, so you can enjoy that little bit more. There are new shows as well, so keep an ear out for those gems!

You can check out the brand new, complete schedule here

Happy listening

So the most recent semester of broadcasting and events has finished for spring break, and what a semester it was!

• Gigs and Charity events
• The wonderful Twist and Shout (x2!) and the massive Indie Club Together
• Interviews and Podcasts
• The diverse range of programming that you’ve come to know and love!

You can catch up on some of what you missed in the Downloads section, and catch the sample of past shows that were turned into Podcasts.

But you do not have to wait long until the third and final broadcast of the university year. Edinburgh University re-opens its doors for consolodation and exams, and gives us the opportunity to shrug off our committments and bring you great radio - huzzah!

The dates to remember:

• April 19 - May 23

It’s only 4 weeks long, but it will be 4 weeks that you don’t want to miss because it will be a number of months before live Fresh Air broadcasting will return to your speakers - so make the most of it and tune in!

That’s right, this Thursday night sees Edinburgh’s biggest and best loved Indie DJ’s join forces, together under one roof, for one night only…. for it is the return of Fresh Air’s massive annual club night Indie Club Together!

DJ’s from all of these nights:

• FAST
• I FLY SPITFIRES
• DOGTOOTH
• THE EGG
• CLASH!
• JERK ALERT!
• THE DANCE DISASTER COLLECTIVE
• BLACK TAPE
• SICK NOTE
• THIS IS MUSIC.

What better way to celebrate the end of term than busting some moves to an array of great tunes!

Charity Auction

On Feb 19th and 26th, Fresh Air held our annual charity auction.

This year, through the sale of prizes such as meal vouchers, plane tickets, sock puppets and personal slaves, we raised an impressive total.

Half of the profits are going to our selected charity, which means an impressive £310 for the Edinburgh Young Carers Project, and organisation who work with and on behalf of young carers throughout the Edinburgh region.
