To finish off the day Liam Juniper brings you a compilation of audio diaries from this years Glastonbury Festival.  You’ve seen it all on the television but this will be the chance to hear things from a festival goer’s perspective and will be interspersed with music from the artists who performed at the 40th anniversary celebration.

Welcome to the New Siren FM Website!

Thanks for logging on and welcome to our brand new website.  As you can see we also have a new logo and the design of the site is based around the logo colours.  Please take the time to look at the new features including the show pages and our new and improved events page, to name but a few.  You will also notice that our schedule has now been designed to show a real time run down of the programmes to be aired on Siren in any given week.

If you take a look at the show pages you can find blogs for each of the programmes and these will be updated regularly by the show teams with info on their latest programmes and in some cases podcasts of previous shows.  The projects page has information about our special programming; currently we have a post up about the Mediabox project which we completed earlier this year, in the post we have lots of videos and audio from the project and this is an area we hope to expand on throughout the site as time moves on.

Make sure you join our new Facebook page and follow us on Twitter to keep updated on new developments on the website.  In the future we aim to bring a listen again feature to the website which will allow you to catch up on your favorite shows.  Another feature you will notice is the ability for site users to leave comments on posts.  We value feedback from the listeners so please feel free to tell us what you think of the new site.

And finally a word of thanks to Jonathan Cresswell for all his hard work in designing this new website.
