Continental Drift on the Community Radio Network

Garry Havrillay presents Cross-cultural music of the world, with new and forthcoming album releases outside the mainstream. A weekly radio program that largely seeks out music with a story to tell; traditional, neo-classical, acoustic, trance, ambient, jazz, rock, folk and singer-songwriters.  Continental Drift  was a nominated finalist for Best Music Program at the 2024 CBAA Awards.

Garry Havrillay is your host on Australia's Community Radio Network (CRN), via CRN-1 Satellite every Thursday from 4-5pm Syd/Melb time, and delivered through the CBAA Digital Delivery Network (DDN) to various community stations for replay during the following week.  You can also listen to this edition via the Australian Community Radio Plus app.

The primary two hour edition of Continental Drift is produced for 3BBR West Gippsland, Victoria, which now also broadcasts this one hour CRN version on Tuesday nights at 22:00 Syd/Melb time.
