Live on Lydiard is now Australia’s Longest Running Live Music Webcast produced live at The 1870 Courthouse Theatre at SMB.
Since 2002, Uni of Ballarat/FedUni Live Production students have been producing live original music, comedy and theatre at both the Arts Academy’s Theatre and performance spaces on Lydiard St.
Courthouse Theatre, SMB, Lydiard St (Sth) AND
HMST THeatre, Camp St Campus, Lydiard St (Nth)

The students document the performances in front of live audiences for DVD and Live Internet Streaming & Archiving.
Staff design these events to specifically meet training needs and support and foster local & Australian original music & culture.
Most artists receive digital documentation of their performances in return for performing to the mutual benefit of the students and the wider community.

Since 2002 Live On Lydiard shows have supported hundreds of local & touring artists with archiving and promotional opportunities. Big names have often appeared with local arts during the events, such as Doug DeVries, Hiatus Kaiote, Max Sharam, Brett Garsed, Jeremy Alsop, Ross McLennan, The Lucksmiths & many more. Over 600 Videos are on youtube.com/UBLive approaching 400,000 views.
