Continental Drift on PBS 106.7FM Melbourne, 1989-1998

Photo: Peter Maillardet Archive of the weekly radio show on PBS 106.7FM Melbourne, produced and presented by Garry Havrillay between 5 Feb 1989 and 13 Dec 1998.

Over 510 episodes, Garry evolved the program from an eclectic mix of electronic, instrumental, atmospheric and non-western popular music, to a more refined selection of global sounds that brought traditional music and new technology together, along with hybrids of many cultural origins. Program #500 explores the evolution of the program.
