For the past 10 weeks the Gordonvale Crew have been learning to plan, promote, produce and deliver an all ages drug and alcohol free night of music and festivities. Organised by young people for young people Turn It Up is an important initiative made possible with the support of Arts Workers from Tanks Art Centre, Youth Substance Misuse Service and Centacare Cairns.

The night’s entertainment will feature seven of Cairns best emerging young bands ranging in style from Hip Hop and Reggae to Rock and Metal.

On July 20th, 2008 AirPlay Direct hit a very important company milestone as our artist membership grew beyond the 12,000 mark. AirPlay Direct has done very little corporate advertising and this growth is a direct reflection of professional referrals made by the company’s loyal and expanding member base, and industry “word of mouse”.

AirPlay Direct also has over 2,500 radio station members, with current membership spanning 100 countries globally. And to date, AirPlay Direct has now delivered over 2,000,000 digital packages on behalf of our members saving them over $20,000,000 in the process.

“I am very pleased at the on-going and exponential growth AirPlay Direct is experiencing. It has taken us three years and a tremendous amount of effort by all involved (including our members) to grow the company to this point. 2008 is going to be a very big year for AirPlay Direct as the music industry continues to evolve and embrace digital delivery as never before.” Robert Weingartz, CEO / AirPlay Direct
