One of the highlights of our year was the star-studded First Waltz, a CFUR fundraiser at The Playhouse which featured some of Prince George's most well known and loved musicians. It was an evening to remember, and the community support for our growing radio station was humbling and inspiring! We were also able to launch a series of live performances and features here in the CFUR studio, of which we were able to record over fifty during 2015! Check out those videos on our Youtube channel!
We worked hard to curate and provide a great selection of tasty music for our listeners during 2015, and some of the most played new releases of this year were:
