Hall of Fame inductees

Triple R

Chair of Board of Directors, former long-term broadcaster, and Triple R first music coordinator Geoff King said, "I'm really proud of the contribution Triple R has made to our musical and intellectual life so it's great to have such a public celebration in its 40th year. The Music Victoria Hall of Fame induction is a powerful way of recognising Triple R's achievements when placed alongside earlier inductees, particularly the likes of Stan Rofe and Bill Armstrong, without whom Melbourne would not have developed such a strong music scene."^[2]
