For the love of music: 3MBS—the first 50 years
3MBS has launched its 50th-anniversary book, For the love of music: 3MBS—the first 50 Years by University of Melbourne academic, Nick Sharman. This beautifully designed 55-page publication includes the history of the station interspersed with fascinating (and occasionally hilarious) quotes from volunteers, staff members, patrons and listeners, and is peppered with vibrant photos—from the present reaching back to 3MBS’s early days in its Kew studios.
For the Love of Music tells the story of how 3MBS Melbourne 103.5FM started in founder Brian Cabena’s electronic store in 1975 and has grown to become a vital part of Melbourne’s music scene with over 200 volunteers and a vast and loyal audience.
