3XY Top 40

3XY is a show based around the proverbial radio cliché ‘Hit and Memories’ and delivered with a smorgasbord of components. There are five main parts to the formula. The band, the right songs, the radio announcer, the radio jingles and ads of the era.

The show's MC John Peters was one of the star radio announcers of 3XY in its heyday as a Top 40 station and brings authenticity to the show linking the live songs with his pre-announce, back-announce intros and outros.

The songs are all chosen from the exact week 40 years ago and the performers chosen to fit the song. This Friday 25 June will see a host of some of Melbourne's best performers hitting the FAC stage to delight our live audience with Top 40 hits from the week of 25 June 1981!

Featuring Brian Mannix, Nina Ferro, Bernard Curry, Eugene Hamilton and George Wilson, all backed by the 3XY All-Stars Band!
