Local delights, national heavyweights and international guests perform live to air on in - an exhilarating program involving six days of live music radio, more than 80 live acts and more than 400 musicians!

"Live Music Fest is an exhilarating celebration of musical diversity. Listeners will experience everything from Japanese, Celtic, Nunga and African performers to choristers, rappers, steel lap-guitarists, hardcore punk, string quartets and more," says Live Music Fest Director Kat McGuffie.

Live Music Fest will run from 8-13 September and can be heard on Radio Adelaide 101.5fm, or via live streaming at:

Among the touring musical treats on offer:

• Jane Badler with SIR (Brooklyn/Melbourne) - "devilishly seductive" former actress
  
• Nicky Bomba (Malta/Melbourne) - funky latin and reggae artist
  
• The Last Town Chorus (USA) - sweet indie pop slide guitarist
  
• Lilith Lane (Melbourne) - blues and garage folk song-smith
  
• Ash Grunwald (Melbourne) - well-respected roots and funk maestro.

And just a few of the local crew:

"With 86 live performances in total, Live Music Fest '08 is testament to Radio Adelaide's commitment to cutting-edge music broadcasting and to exposing a host of exciting local talent to the public," Ms McGuffie says.
