MAESTRO ON THE MIC….

Check out Maestro On The Mic every Saturday between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m.

Today we focussed on  playing a variety of good, mostly Australian, music. A mix of new, old and somewhere in the middle.

We had interviews with musicians Jen Mize about the new singles released by The Rough ‘n’ Tumble followed by an interview with Freo about new releases from Mast Gully Fellers focussing on Ned Kelly. 

Welcome to   the highest rating program on a Saturday morning blasting and head busting its way out of Upweywaywaywayway…

Freo from Mast Gully Fellers  came into the studio and talked to us  about the new singles the band is in the process of releasing. The first is Poor Ned which is an oldie but goldie giving the perspective of Ned Kelly from his point of view.  Then No Escaping which is told from the perspective of the family of the police murdered by Ned Kelly and his gang at Stringybark Creek.   More exciting news is a new album is on the way and we can’t wait for it.
