You can help keep Encore on the air:
Encore is a one-man operation. WRMI and Channel 292 are very generous with their air-time but Encore still costs me around 200 Dollars/Euros a month to broadcast.
I'm happy to go on giving my time and such expertise as I have to the project of broadcasting classical music on Shortwave - it's a passion - but I need some help with the costs or Encore will have to stop.
There is a PayPal donation button now on the homepage of the website - www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they want to. If PayPal is no good for you then send me an email and we'll sort something else out.
Thank you.

(This bulletin is sent by Bcc to the many hundreds of listeners who have been in contact with Encore over the last two and a half years of broadcasting Encore.)

Many thanks to the folks who have donated already - It's enough to keep going for another 4-5 weeks.

This week's Programme - First broadcast this coming Saturday by Channel 292 - starts with some film music by Roque Banos, part of the Symphonic Dances by Rachmaninoff, and two Poems set to music by Benjamin Britten.
After that the cellist Yo-Yo Ma plays some, er, jazz, Liza Lim flies to the moon with Chang-O, and Niccolò Paganini plays us out with some violin & piano.

Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
