Nine bands turn up volume for 3WAY FM live-to-air broadcast

Warrnambool's community radio station 3WAY FM will showcase itself and local bands with an open day and live-to-air broadcast on Sunday.Nine acts will perform in the Club Crew room, With the public invited to pop in to the Hyland Street station to watch, or tune in on 103.7 FM. Long-time presenter Garry Dalton said the station had worked hard to reach the point where it  could broadcast live concerts. He said Naringal producer and drummer Brenton Smith was instrumental in setting up the system. “We had some fund-raisers over  the last couple of years and with some of the money we’ve raised we’ve bought this equipment,” Dalton said. “Brenton Smith organised all of that — he’s the brains behind it.” To test out the new gear, nine bands will perform from 10am, with the line-up featuring Red & White & Swanny, Ashar & Scotty Thwaites, Trevor & Boyd, Kayla Dwyer, Eddy & The Exciters, Bec & The Big River Trio, Lost In Suburbia, Blackwood Jack, and Tank Dilemma. The performances will take over from the day’s usual programming. Dalton said there would also be a sausage sizzle and a membership sign-up. “We’d like the public to come out and check out the studios,” he said. “We’re hoping if it works we might have another one later in the year
