THERE WAS MUCH jubilation at Clare FM and Galway Bay FM last week as Austin Durrack and Jon Richards were presented with their respective Fairplay For Airplay awards.

Says FFA Chairman Jackie Hayden: “This is a modest means of saying ‘thank you’ to the individuals in radio stations who are generously supportive of new talent. We will also seek advice and information from stations so that new artists can have a greater understanding of how radio works and how they can best present their recordings to stations.”
