MAESTRO ON THE MIC….

Welcome to   the highest rating program on a Saturday morning blasting and head bursting its way out of the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria…

Saturday 30 May , 2026  we focussed on  Grantlee Kieza author of Ellen Savage And The Heroes Of AHS Centaur, published by ABC Books. Plus the usual mixed bag of Australian music.

What we did today: 

 
Love on the radio – Skyhooks (from the album Ego)
The field – Kavisha Mazzella (There Is A Field)
Garden of Edie – Edie
Every days another dance – Floyd Thursby with Dan Witton and Harry Lye (Every Days Another Dance)
Dirty creature – Split Enz (Alive, Alive Oh)
Uncovered – Ticket To Space
I’ll never abandon myself again – Liz Stringer (The Second High)
No escaping – Mast Gully Fellers
Poor Ned – Mast Gully Fellers
Fatal wedding – Mic Conway’s National Junk Band (Diagonally Parked In A Parallel Universe)
Back in your arms – Peppercreek Revival (It’s All Been Said)
Remember when – Gary Anderson (A Real Good Time)
Mr Invincible – The Ska Vendors (Good Love Bad)

 

We interviewed Grantlee Kieza about his latest book (published by ABC Books) ELLEN SAVAGE AND THE HEROES OF AHS CENTAUR. Consisting of 345 pages and photographs of the main characters including the vessel, this proved to be an engaging book. Grantlee always has something to say and this is a worthy book for anyone.

 

14. Short memory  – Midnight Oil (Oils On The Water)

15. I’m in love – Cash Savage and The Last Drinks (The Hypnotiser)

16. The wolves – Little John (Put Your Hands On Me)

17. Cruel game – James Keith (I Call It Magic When I’m With You)

18. Lying next to you – Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier

 

Next week we speak to Kavisha Mazzella about her new album THERE IS A FIELD.
