I’d like to say please support all the great musicians who contribute music to the Halloween Listening Party. They spend a lot of time creating this fantastic music, putting as much effort into their releases as someone who builds a house, or runs a company – yet musicians and other creative people like them are so undervalued in our society. The streaming platforms pay them a dribble of money – and often it’s a kind of one-sided deal with the Devil . . . as at the end of the day, a creative person only wants someone to find their work and enjoy it.

So, you can always say thank you by purchasing any of the songs that you hear and enjoy on FOTW Radio. Platforms like Bandcamp (where many of our releases come from) make sure at least 90% of the money goes directly back to the creator. Thank you for reading! 🎃
