St Kilda Talks

The February podcast is devoted to the dream of making St Kilda a music city – a vibrant, harmonious place where live music is welcome, appreciated and celebrated. 

This coincides with the release of a draft Live Music Action Plan by Port Phillip Council for comment by the community (Have Your Say Port Phillip until 22 March)

We have a powerhouse list of guests who bring decades of music industry experience to the podcast:

Co-host Michelle Nicol, President St Kilda Live Music Community;

Peter Bain-Hogg, producer of RocKwiz on SBS and now touring as a live show;

Diane Foster and Peter ‘Boom Boom’ Beulke, St Kilda Blues Festival organisers;

Mary Mihelakos, music journalist and tour operator

Katherine Copsey, Port Phillip Councillor and member of The Rebelles.
