Radio Source FM

Source FM is a community station for Falmouth, Penryn and the surrounding Cornish area, bringing together music, conversation and local creative work. Active since 2009, it gives residents, groups and performers opportunities to make programmes and share their interests. Its presenters include musicians, writers, artists and people involved in community organisations, producing a service whose variety comes from the contributors themselves.

Simon Neild presents Inside Local Music and is involved in the Sundown Sessions and Parklive events. David Weaver explores jazz in Jazz Train, while Steve Gruitt presents Punky Reggae Party. Bob Inman's programme ranges across American music, and the One and All Radio Show brings a Cornish perspective through Pagan Tony and Daave the Raave. The line-up also includes Gareth Monk's Music Matters and Back & Forth Beats with Freya Pigott and Tara Twine.

The station's cultural range extends to Ça coule de Source, with contributions connected to French language and culture, and Rainbow Source with Simon Hill and Steve. Breakfast voices include Simon Neild, Emma McGee and Jennifer Watts. The mixture of specialist records, local conversation and distinct personal interests means different programmes can sound very different while remaining connected to the same community.

Parklive is a Source FM project: a free, family-friendly festival run by volunteers and focused on original music by local performers. Other activities include Jazz Train Live concerts, school storytelling projects and Carols for Christmas at the Princess Pavilion. These events connect broadcasting with public performance and participation. Source FM's role in Falmouth and Penryn therefore includes both the programmes heard on air and opportunities for local people to create, perform and tell stories together.
