THE FEDERAL Government has moved a step closer to handing the Pulses' 94.7FM bandwidth to ABC radio.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority yesterday asked for written submissions from the general public into their proposal to take the bandwidth transmitted from Murradoc Hill.

Popular community radio station the Pulse already holds the bandwidth and is expected to receive hefty compensation should it be shifted. Read more »»

While doing some maintenance and tweaking on the site I notice that Adam has been a member for 1 year and 2 days. I guess that means that the site is now one year old.

To celebrate, I'll shortly be adding a new flash banner made by Narada Ellis and making a few improvements to make life easier for Adam.

I've been building a web site for a local community group in Lorne where I've set up some forums for various discussions. Perhaps it might be an idea to add a general forum to the GFMC site where people can place buy/sell ads, musician's wanted etc. What do you think? Read more »»

Open mic nights are a great opportunity to perform for a warm, receptive and supportive audience, whether you are just beginning or a more seasoned performer. A PA and lighting is provided along with a sound person who will help you sound great. Read more »»

The documentary film made to celebrate the 30th Port Fairy Folk Festival will be screened on ABC1 (channel 2) this coming Sunday 23rd March at 4:15pm.

"30 Festivals On" retells the history of the festival since its beginnings in 1977. The film was created with input from the GFMC and uses many of the photos from the Clubs archive.

It's a great story, simply told with lots of great contemporary footage of the festival. Not to be missed!

Tue April 15 - 8.00pm

The next GFMC Open-Mic will be Tuesday April 15th at Irish Murphy's Geelong at 8.00pm. If you're a GFMC member and you'd like a spot on the board, just contact Mark using the Open Mic option.
Otherwise, just get along and get your name on the board at the start of the night.
