On this show we celebrate music that was released about half a century ago. Inevitably that means that every year some of the folks who made that music pass away. In this week’s show we celebrate some of those artists. What a legacy of incredible music they have left us. Vale

As we do near the start of every year,  we pick some of our favourite tracks from exactly 50 years ago. This year we are celebrating songs from 1976. This was the year that punk came into being, but disco was also going strong. And, of course, there was some great rock and soul. There’s a little bit of everything this show and we love it all.

Every year we do a whole show dedicated solely to Australian artists from the Seventies. And what a lot of talent we have to chose from. From soul to rock to psychadelic, we were doing it all, and adding our particular Australian flavour.

Happy new year! 2025 is almost over, and to welcome in 2026 we’re going dancing! It’s no secret that Seventies music still features heavily on any modern party playlist, and for very good reason. It’s pretty hard not to tap your toes, swivel your hips and look to the dance floow when some of these tracks come on. So let’s party!

It’s almost Christmas. And once again we are foregoing the Christmas themed tunes and instead playing some of our favourite tracks that we love playing on Christmas day.  We’ve stuffed the turkey (or in Marty’s case the snapper), and ourselves, we’ve tidied up the wrapping paper and plopped ourselved down on the couch and we’re slipping in a CD or dropping a a stylus on a record and relaxing to some fabulous music. So put your feet up, grab an eggnog and join us for some smooth holiday vibes.

Sometimes a song is written to a generic ‘you’, sometimes it’s written to, or about, a specific someone. Sometimes, that someone has a name. On this week’s show we continue to explore songs from the Seventies that feature a person’s name. We haven’t run out yet.

Every successful recording artists was once unknown, until they had that first hit that took them to the top of the charts. For some it might have been their first release, for others they may have been trying to break through for years. On this weeks show we look back at the songs from the Seventies that made an artists career take off.

The human mind – mysterious, creative and unknowable. Both the engine that creates songs but also often the subject of songs, including many songs from the 1970s.
