Report: JOY Comes of Age

JOY turned 15 in December last year and to mark our coming of age, The Age run a great little story on us. Check it out here.

Meanwhile, to mark our momentous achievement and to celebrate the Midsumma theme of "coming of age" (Midsumma turned 21 this year), we also commissioned a 9 metre timeline of the history of JOY; Revelant Radio For All Ages Through The Ages (pictured being installed by our JOY vollies).

It was a feature of our Midsumma presence at Carnival Day this year and also got a double spread in our magazine Hear (T)Here, the special edition of Hear Here for the gay silly season (Midsumma, Pride, Chill Out, Mardi Gras and MQFF). Get a copy from the station, or see the timeline at the Pride March Parade this coming Sunday February 1.

Thanks to Shane Woon who put together the timeline and Paul Terdich, Chris Furneaux and Tim Lennox who supplied many of the photos.
