Viv Malo & Dave Arden
In 2020 the Smith Street Working Group and the City of Yarra partnered with 3CR to bring a retrospective of the past 7 years of the Smith Street Dreaming Festival - usually a day event held on Smith Street during NAIDOC week.
Presented by 3CR broadcaster Viv Malo (The Black Block), alongside Dave Arden, live to air from the 3CR studios on Saturday 18 July, 1-4pm. The broadcast featured music from past festival performers and interviews with some of the key figures of the Smith Street Dreaming formation: Colin Hunter, Troy Crellin, Bart Willoughby, Soss, Stephen Thorpe, Joeboy Morgan, Sui Chan, Heng Lim, Yarra Mayor, James Henry, Mini Racerage, Kutcha Edwards.
Listen back to the broadcast below.
Who doesn’t love a rummage through some books and CDs on a Saturday morning? Come join us at the 3CR garage sale - Saturday 16 November, 9am-2pm in the 3CR carpark at the rear of 21 Smith Street, Fitzroy. There’ll be CDs, records, cassettes, books, household goods, 3CR merchandise and much more! Curated by the weekly show The Sporting Record and all proceeds go directly to the station. This event is part of the Garage Sale Trail.
Applications are now open for DJing, DJ production (Ableton live) and darbuka workshops as part of the 3CR Salaam Radio Music School. We have limited places available for each of the three streams of training and all workshops are free of charge. Applicants from the SWANA diaspora and First Nations communities are strongly encouraged to apply. The aim of the workshops is to solidify the participants skills to be able to perform (if they wish) by the end of the training course live on Salaam Radio Show. More detail and the application form are here. Applications are due by 5pm on Friday 18 October to projects@3cr.org.au. This project is financially supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
