The Eltham Jazz, Food and Wine Festival is back on Friday February 27 and Saturday February 28 at the Town Square precinct with Vision Australia Radio and Plenty Valley FM partnering for a live simulcast.

Plenty Valley FM (PVFM) continues its long association with the event which brings together live music from two alternating stages, and the opportunity to embrace the flavours of local wineries and food from the culturally creative hub within the heart of Nillumbik.

Plenty Valley FM President Craig Wright said:

“Music is a medium that is all-inclusive, and this festival is a multi-sensory event featuring all the sounds, smells, and tastes that the festival brings. We will be broadcasting live from 4pm on the Friday and midday on the Saturday. “It’s one of our biggest community engagement opportunities within our service area in Melbourne’s outer north to help people learn about our programs and our important role as a designated emergency broadcaster.”

This year, PVFM has partnered with Vision Australia Radio (VAR) to simulcast the broadcast on its IRIS DAB+ platform, bringing the Eltham Jazz Food and Wine Festival to even more people.

Vision Australia Radio and Audio manager Conrad Browne said:

“Vision Australia Radio is known for providing access to information, but we also appreciate an opportunity to collaborate with other stations and deliver quality entertainment to our community of interest too. That is why we are delighted to be partnering with Plenty Valley FM to simulcast some of the many highlights from the Eltham Jazz, Food and Wine Festival, for Melbourne’s blind and low vision community.”

If you can’t attend in-person, you can download the Community Radio Plus app and search for Plenty Valley FM or VAR Melbourne. You can also find the IRIS DAB+ coverage using a DAB+ compatible device or radio.
