MAESTRO ON THE MIC….

Saturdays the Maestro on the Mic features good Australian music. When?   Between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. Welcome to   the highest rating program bursting and blasting its way out of Upweywaywaywayway…

 

Saturday 25 July, 2026  started off with a whisper. In fact until we sorted a  tech issue we were blasting out of the studio with deadly silence.  We could not be heard so if the first 15 minutes on the playback sounds great to you, we suggest getting a hearing test. There was no music. No nothing and for that I’m sorry.  Anyway, we fixed it in time for an interview and good music. More of the same next Saturday.

 

What we did today:

 
Love on the radio – Skyhooks (live version from Don’t Believe What You’ve Seen Or Heard)
Turtle – Totally Gourdous (Totally Gourdgous 2000)
Son of a gun – Gabrielle Cohen (Rhythms 30th Anniversary Collection)
Rainfall – Minty (First Sounds volume 14)
No escaping – Mast Gully Fellers
I’d go the whole wide world – Jim Keays (Age Against The Machine)
The pushbike song – The Mixtures (Lost Hits Of The 70s & 80s)
Back in your arms – PepperCreek Revival with Kelly Auty (Its All Been Said)

 

Around 9.50 a.m. we interviewed Kat Greta about her new single ‘Audacity’.  She spoke about the glockenspiel, playing the drums and the recent release of her EP.  Then she let us play her latest track.  We hope to speak to Kat again in the future.

 

9. Audacity – Kat Greta

10. Doing it right – PepperCreek Revival with Kelly Auty (Its All Been Said)

11. All of a sudden nothing happened – Mic Conways National Junk Band (Diagonally Parked In A Parallel Universe)

12. I’ve always known – Liz Stringer (The Second High)

13. Siren – No Promises

14. Welcoming song – Kristian Mizzi (Some Other Morning)

15. As you lie there – Paul McCartney (The Boys On Dungeon Lane)

16. Sing for your soul – Cheryl Hann-Woodlock

17. Lay me down – Kavisha Mazzella (There Is A Field)

18. Do not forsake me – Floyd Thursby with Dan Witton and Harry Lye (Every Days Another Dance)

19. Tomorrow is a new day – Kristian Mizzi (Kristian Mizzi)

20. The last of the old Holdens’ – Les Thomas
