Living In The Land Of Oz 2-4pm (Victorian time), 979fm, Melbourne's western suburbs. Streaming on-line at www.979fm.com.au an Lee-Roy has been a member of 979fm since June 2000.

"Living In The Land Of Oz" is an all-Australian music, news and interviews show airing 2-4pm on Mondays. Host Leigh “Lee-Roy” Stancliffe presents a broad mix of Australian pop and rock music from the 50’s to today, with the occasional song by a Kiwi act slipped in. There’s also one or two interviews every week, from major artists to up-and-coming independent acts, and occasionally with music journ

alists, authors, TV presenters, comedians and other people in the Australian entertainment industry. He presented Australian independent music program “Support Your Local Rock-Gods” from 2001 to 2004. After feeling restricted only playing unsigned acts the show evolved into “Living In The Land Of Oz”. The show is named after Ross Wilson’s first solo single, a song about Aboriginal rights. Lee-Roy chose this as the show’s name as it includes acts that were born in Australia, people that were born overseas but now call Australia home, as well as the people whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years

Lee-Roy also presents "I Like Your New Stuff Better Than Your Old Stuff", a 1 hour show of new release Australia music. It airs Tuesdays at 10pm on 979fm. www.facebook.com/ilikeyournewstuff
