Are you MUSIC & ARTS LOVER and keen to see support packages developed to help these sectors rebuild after COVID-19?  Or are you a member of these communities and need direct help?
We hear you and we've got some options for you...


​Save Our Scene:
"We represent independent small to medium music venues across Victoria, including some of the most iconic and long-standing music venues in the country. We are not the big end of town - we are not in the business of hosting stadium tours. We are the pubs, theatres and clubs where Australian musicians get their start and hone their craft.
We are the venues where Victorian music lovers see shows not just once a year, but every night of the week. Our venues nurture the part of Victoria’s music culture that is uniquely Victorian, providing community, connectedness and wellbeing to people across the state."
SIGN THEIR PETITION


Federal Petition EN1609 - Support for Australian Arts and Entertainment Workers now
There's now an official petition calling on the Morrison Government to support devastated arts and entertainment workers through the coronavirus crisis.  
"
The arts and entertainment industry has been devastated by shutdowns caused by the coronavirus crisis. It was the first sector to be hit, when gatherings of 500 people or more were banned, and is likely to be one of the last sectors to be released from restrictions... We therefore ask the House to Extend the JobKeeper payment to arts and entertainment sector workers who are currently ineligible; and Deliver the arts and entertainment sector a tailored and properly targeted relief package to ensure its ongoing viability."
​SIGN THE PETITION


Support Act:
If your ability to work has been impacted by COVID-19 and you are a musician, crew or music worker, you may be eligible to apply for a Crisis Relief Grant from Support Act.

Vale Angelo Mazzone - 1933 - 2020  Presenter of The Italian Show

6/13/2020

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Angelo Mazzone.

Angelo was a much loved contributor to 3MDR as presenter of the weekly Italian Show.

Unfortunately Angelo had been unwell and unable to attend the studio to present his wonderful program since December last year.   We all hoped that he would be back in the studio early in the year, then the covid19 pandemic took hold around the world.  Italy was one of the hardest hit countries in the early stages of the pandemic and it was a shame Angelo couldn’t be on the airwaves to communicate with the local and not so local Italian community.

After undergoing some surgery in late May, Angelo went home from hospital and passed away at home with his family by his side on Monday 1st June, just days after his 87th Birthday

It was always a pleasure catching up with Angelo at the station as he prepared to present his weekly show featuring fine Italian opera music between his sport, weather, natural therapy and community news segments.   

Angelo’s broadcasting experience was extensive, starting out at SBS before joining 3MDR some 16 years ago and continuing to serve the Italian community of the Dandenong Ranges and beyond through the community radio airwaves on 97.1FM.

Angelo’s fabulous charm and smile always brightened the day for the office staff and volunteers at 3MDR.  And those wonderful tunes coming from the studio speakers were a weekly highlight.

At the request of Angelo’s family, former 3MDR President, Robert Gearon, will be presenting a tribute show to Angelo this Thursday 3pm 18th June in the Italian Show timeslot.

The 3MDR family extends sincere condolences to Angelo’s family, friends and loyal listeners.

Riposi in Pace

The following message was posted by Graham Beal, who's show followed Angelo's on a Thursday evenings for many years:
"I was very sad to hear of the recent passing of Angelo Mazzone, presenter of the popular Italian Show which preceded my show on radio 3mdr.  He was a true gentleman and was always charming to my lady guests.  He loved opera and often played this by Verdi at the end of his show which always put me in a nice relaxed mood. Valé Angelo."
