Airchecks and interviews of Cameron Scott- Bohanna

A promo for the Taste Of The Towers festival happening at the Towers Jockey Club on the 26th of August.

Whilst scouring the interwebs for interesting facts to talk about on the show this morning, I came across one that beach lovers will be excited to hear.

Joining me on the breakfast show this week is Sally Kirkwood from Towers Jockey Club. We discussed the recent Richmond Races, the upcoming Prairie Races and the Charters Towers Charity Ball.

Another updated aircheck. This time a tribute to an actor who has played one of the most iconic characters, not only in the science fiction/adventure Genre but of all time. That actor is Ian McDiarmid, who celebrates his birthday today.

Starting this Friday night and going until Sunday is a new and unusual theatrical production, bringing past iconic people of Charters Towers back to life and telling their stories at Pioneer Cemetery. The Show is called the Spirits Of The Night and has already sold out most shows. I caught up with the producers and directors, Rachel Terry and Clare Denzin to talk about this amazing show bringing the dead to life.

After a brief absence last week, I caught up with Towers' Jockey Club's Sally Kirk Wood about the Diggers Family Race Day in Richmond. We also talked about the Townsville Cup that's happening this weekend.

A great tribute I did on the show this afternoon for the lead singer of the rock band Def Leppard who became one of the only original members to play on every one of the band's albums, Joe Elliott.

You've heard of "Long Way Round" well this is the Queensland version. A couple of people are travelling by scooter from Ipswich to Townsville in September to raise funds for Legacy and visiting many communities including Charters Towers. I spoke with Trevor Benneworth and Ken, two of the organizers of this fun expedition.

I caught up with Sally Kirkwood for the Towers Jockey club to talk about the recent race day in Hughenden as well as the Hughenden Rugby 7s event and a glitzy glamourous  event called the Charters Towers Bulls Ladies Day on September 3rd. Tickets go on sale on the 24th.

Lots of things happening in Charters Towers over the next few weeks, like Barbaroi and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music Winterschool Outreach Concert at the World Theatre. The Council has also appointed a new CEO. Plus a call out to residents to start making videos for  part of a new campaign, the ‘Charters Towers Lifestyle and Liveability Project’. I spoke to the mayor, Frank Beveridge all about this and more.
