The Leaps and Bounds Music Festival is thrilled to present this very special tour to celebrate Yarra City’s musical history.
Climb on board and join in the fun as we explore both forgotten and well-known music sites and share some stories along the way.
Tour guide is Melbourne’s very own musicologist Bruce Milne, who founded the Augogo Records store and label, managed the Blackeyed Susans, ran In-Fidelity Records, and was licensee of the iconic Tote Hotel (as documented in the film Persecution Blues).
The Leaps and Bounds Music Sites Bus Tour will take you all over the City of Yarra including sites such as:
-Missed venues of yesteryear (The Punters Club, the Much More Ballroom, Hearts, -etc.) and existing venues.
-Important Indigenous music spots. -Film clip and movie (Dogs In Space) locations.
-Places the public doesn’t normally get to see – recording and rehearsal studios.
-And oddities from the Nylex Clock sign to the Young Talent Time School to old shared musician households.
Bruce will keep the tour lively with plenty of little known facts and tales.
