This week, everyone here at JAM PAKT with Jonzy has been devastated by the passing of the lead guitarist of River & Isles. He was much loved by his community in Alice Springs and overall by the vast music industry. We send our deepest heartfelt condolences to his family.

Out of respect and honour to his family and community, this week’s scheduled episode of Jam Pakt featuring River & Isles will not be broadcast. Instead, we’re delivering an updated version of one of our previous shows with actor Deb Mailman.

We urge everyone to remember that if you or someone you know is struggling to cope, please talk to a family member, your local clinic, or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
