I joined Main FM just over one year ago after seeing an ad on social media. I have a record collection that requires further justification to continue to build it and I wanted to be able to support the local venues who were putting acts on in Castlemaine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been a musician since my teen years, so much of my time is spent on that. I also go to as many shows as I can. Music is my main hobby \/ passion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My show is “To Bring You My Love”, title taken from the PJ Harvey song of the same name. The three tenants are, to one; play records that I love, two; have friends on air to play music thay love and three; have artists playing locally on to talk about the music that they have made with love. Basically, there’s a whole lotta love and music! The show is a year old. I do this show, as I said, to justify the ongoing building of the record collection and to support local venues.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been a little self pleased that I haven’t been too star struck by some of the people I’ve been able to interview (Mick Harvey for example). As far as the community goes, it’s diverse and the station does a great job at giving voice to that diversity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love Live Rats, the turn of phrase the ability to wax lyrical of a myriad of subjects and its ability to make me laugh. The spoken work on Down the Rabbit Hole is as funny as it is profound.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, ‘community radio’ means radio from and for the local community.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stand out memory for me is the last Community Cup; huge crowd, lotsa love, lotsa fun!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run a Facebook and Instagram page and do a weekly update on what’s coming up. Occasionally I remember to post if I’m at a local gig.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep up the great work!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
