The North Shores FM 99.3

I am a volunteer presenter on the one of Australia’s leading community radio stations
the North Shore’s FM 99.3 which in 2008 is celebrating its 25th year of broadcasting
and my show “An Evening With ………..” goes to air each Tuesday evening at 7.00pm.

During the hour-long show, I interview leading Australian personalities, community leaders
and interesting people, showcasing their lives and they bring in their own music
which allows the listeners to know more about the person behind the personality.

Amongst my guests have been Channel 9’s Ray Martin and Steve Liebmann,
entertainers Gene Pitney, Kamahl, Frank Ifield, Lonnie Lee, Maria Venuti
and my great friend Smoky Dawson who sadly passed away in February 2008.

I interviewed John Howard when he was the Prime Minister of Australia,
Brendan Nelson MP who is now the Leader of the Federal Opposition,
local North Shore Mayors, former NSW Opposition Leader John Brogden
and a number of other prominent MPs from both sides of politics.

There have also been a host of famous sports stars and interesting sports
broadcasting legends such as the late, great Frank Hyde, Rex Mossop, David Lord
and Norman May, all whom have fabulous memories and told such great stories.

I also joined the station's Board of Directors in November 2007
and was unanimously elected as the Chairman of the Board in August 2008.

Please have a look at the station's website at www.993.com.au and
below are a few photographs of some of my guests for you to enjoy:

I say thanks Jack for saving and preserving some of our wonderful community assets.
