3MDR & The Skylark Room Music Industry Nights Poll

6/29/2016

Comments

 
Picture
Calling all local musos & performers,

3MDR is looking at partnering with new local venue 'The Skylark Room' to deliver 'Industry Nights', aimed at our local musicians.  The attached poll is to determine if this is something that you, our local performers, want and, if so, what the content might be.

The survey is short, we know your time is valuable, please be honest and feel free to add any ideas you have.

We are offering a free season pass to the first series of these industry nights (assuming they go ahead) to one lucky muso who spends the time doing this poll, so if you want to go into the draw don't forget to give us your details in the final part of the survey.

The Skylark Room and 3MDR are pretty excited about the potential of these events for our local performer community and we hope you are too!!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Keep Community Radio - Ben Mitchell's new tune!

6/8/2016

Local muso Ben Mitchell has penned a new tune all about keeping community radio and we are loving it!!!

Here's the blurb Ben wrote about the tune on his Soundcloud page:

"Keep Community Radio is a celebration of the humble radio stations of the suburbs, the far flung outposts up in the mountains, and the non-commercially bound artistic havens of the mean inner city streets. Run almost entirely by volunteers, these radio stations are invariably the birthplace of new music.

Personally, my career has benefited from having the opportunity to share my music with a wider audience through community radio, both from songs on my albums being played on a wide range of genre-specific shows, and from live-to-air appearances. Keep Community Radio is a small way of saying thank you."

Be sure to check out Ben's other tunes and support local musicians!!!
