Episode notes

I’m Thomas Phillips 

Melbourne’s status as Australia's live music capital is under threat. Since the start of the pandemic, one third of small and mid-sized venues nation-wide have closed their doors for good.  

This week we’re bringing you stories about how performers along the number 19 tramline are getting by. 

It's the third episode of Tram Tales. Our new series about Melbournians who live, work, and travel along the number 19 route — the city’s central artery.

Featuring stories by ara Highett, Ying Wan and, Chanchan Wu.
