To celebrate the City of Yarra’s newest live music festival ‘Leaps and Bounds’, PBS 106.7FM will be broadcasting live from The Labour in Vain, one of Fitzroy’s most iconic watering holes and live music institutions.
The live broadcast features PBS’ longest running program, David Heard’s Acid Country (Thursdays 3-5pm) in a very special two-hour episode showcasing some of Melbourne’s most treasured country acts playing live from the venue and onto the airwaves amongst punters and regular bar-flies alike.
Joining David on the show will be ramblin’, swingin’, toe-tappin’ bands The Idle Hoes, The Alan Ladds and Raised By Eagles live on air throughout the entire program. This impressive lineup cements the focus that ‘Leaps and Bounds’ hold for its festival; local performers, local venues and local audiences.
The broadcast kicks off at 3pm sharp and goes through until 5pm. Come down to the Labour in Vain and catch the show in person or tune into PBS 106.7FM to hear all of the action on your airwaves.
