Default So I emigrate to Perth.....and they give me my own Radio Show!

Wow! What a country! A land of opportunities, or what!

I heard an advert on a local station saying that they were looking for new presenters, so best foot forward and one audition later, and I'm in!

It's only a community station, but it's heard all over Perth on 102.5FM and they're looking at changing the format. So every Friday night I'm doing a 4 hour show. 2 hours of Party, Disco and Club Classics from 10pm until midnight, then 2 hours of Rock and Roll from midnight until 2am. I start tomorrow night so I'm dusting off the old 45's today and trying to find my flares to get into the mood.

Now, where did I put my medallion?.......

Good luck to ya mate, I used to do a show for hospital radio in cardiff wales on sundays afternoons was a blast many ears ago. Mind you, youd have to watch what tunes you played seeing as most of the listeners were hospital patients. I wasnt allowed to play "only women bleed" or "leader of the pack" (the later for the motor bike crash part for any crash victims in hospital)

Have you had any radio experience steve or dj experience at all, or just a musical interest ? I have extensive knowledge of 70's, early 80's music, after that Im shite, but if you are stuck for tunes for a playlist, lemme know, I'll give ya a few
Have fun

Congrats and all the best, hope you 'break a leg' as they say when wishing good luck. If you want to know anything about 70's and 80's Aussie music just ask - I'm your boy for that.

Lol...Hospital Radio! I did two shows a week for 8 years in Hemel Hempstead, it was crazy all the songs you couldn't play.

Thanks for your words, yes I have got some experience, I started 22 years ago working for Hospital Radio, as well as 13 years in mobile and club work, including a trip to South Africa, where I still enjoyed the mobile work and also got a job for a year in commercial radio.

I've had a break from it for a few years but can't wait to get back behind the mic! Gonna have a LOT of fun!

Steve.

Hi Alan, how are you? Hope you're well!

No, unfortunately they don't broadcast on the net. It's only a small community station trying to expand a bit, but money is a bit tight as they are all volunteers. Still going to be a laugh, though.
