DJ Ridingpants CD bonanza at NOOSA FM

2/11/2018

1 Comment

 
Picture
A 21,000 CD Collection is up for sale. The entire collection of well known presenter DJ Ridingpants is an exquisite and diverse selection of World, Pop, Australian, Country, Jazz and Classic music, all donated to NOOSA FM for the station's fundraising sale.

DJ Ridingpants has been synonymous with NOOSA FM for almost two decades. The former Kiwi had wanted to be a radio presenter since he was a lad and his big chance came through a chance meeting in a Noosa music shop where he met a NOOSA FM volunteer who opened the door to kick-start his life long dream. Robs passion was obvious and he was promptly invited to one of the station's first in-house presenter training courses and and went on to deliver the very first of his trade mark program. The rest, as they say, is history; NOOSA FM history.

The sale kicked off last Saturday, and naturally, there has been a lot of interest but there are still plenty of CDs available. You can contact NOOSA FM on 5447 2233 for inquiries, or simply pop into the station Saturday or Sunday from 9 am onward and purchase your own CD selection at bargain basement prices.

You may be forgiven for thinking that these gentlemen where extras from a well known pirate movie? But nay, it's NOOSA FM's very own Chris Lofven (left) and Jim Toomey of 'The Tourists' fame.

Apart from being involved in setting up our station with Barry Charles back in the day, Jim Toomey was the drummer in 'The Tourists', a UK band (1976-1980)  featuring Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart who went on to form Eurythmics.

Jim has written a lively account of those rocking days titled We Were Tourists and came on board the Magic Bus last Saturday to have a chat with Chris.

Distinguished Gentleman's Ride through Noosa on a mission

24/9/2018

Cameron MacGowan: Coordinator of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride - Sunshine Coast.
 On Sunday September 30th 2018, over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in over 650 cities worldwide will don their cravats, tustle their ties, press their tweed, and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and men's mental health.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting niche motorcycle communities together.

That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities.

Debbie Noyek interviewed Cameron on her Sunday afternoon show Easy Street, to talk about the annual event that has hit the street's of Noosa annually since 2014.

Our Shared History: An interview with Helen Cooke

Helen Cooke and assistant 'Scooby'. (Inset) left: Meredith Walker, right: Dave Johnston.
 Helen Cooke (above) was recently interviewed by Mike Scott on Monday Morning's with Scotty. The main topic of conversation was the Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group’s up-coming 'Shared History' seminar: Archaeology – Adding to Australia’s First Nation’s Stories, to be held on Thursday, 2 August. Attendees are set to be taken on a unique journey exploring how Australian archaeology has the opportunity to develop the foundations for a shared identity.

Event co-organisers Meredith Walker and Helen Cooke said Aboriginal Australians of our First Nations were not actively involved in the early research and excavations in Australia, but now Traditional Owners are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of fieldwork on Indigenous sites, more engaged in researching their community and completing degrees in archaeology.

“Our keynote speaker for this event, Dave Johnston is a trailblazer in this field being the first Indigenous Australian to gain a degree in archaeology and having worked on more than 2,000 heritage projects across eastern Australia,” said Ms Cooke.

“He is recognised as a world leader in the field of Australian Indigenous archaeology, has been instrumental in the development of the Australian Government’s guidelines for Indigenous heritage and has developed a code of ethics for the World Archaeological Congress.”
The 'Our Shared History' seminar: Archaeology – Adding to Australia’s First Nation’s Stories will be held on:

Thursday, 2 August - 9.00 am to 2.30 pm
Secondary Lecture Theatre
Matthew Finders Anglican College
1-47 Stringybark Road, Buderim

Russell Morris on music and the role community radio stations

20/7/2018

Picture
Therase Burke had the enviable pleasure of chatting with Russell Morris last week on Friday Drive. When talking with an iconic Australian entertainer who has been preforming fairly consistently for over four decades (often on the Sunshine Coast), there is a lot to talk about, and where does one begin? I guess a good starting point might be his first big break, 'The Real Thing'.

Russell also talked about the success of his 2012 platinum album Sharkmouth, and the crucial role of community radio stations in that success.

Noosa's National Karate Champ is off to NZ

Fiona Falzon is heading for Auckland next week to represent our country in Karate's Oceania Cup, fresh from taking Gold in the Australian Open Karate Kumite Championships in Sydney earlier this month. Inspired by her 5 year old when he took up Karate, and then the story of a black-belt Grandma in the local paper 9 years ago, Fiona began a journey she says was "akin to climbing Everest". She began competing only 5 years ago and has won National titles in 2014 and 2016 in the Veteran's category (45 plus). Fiona says it has been life-changing, saying "The overall technique opens us up to insights into our life, producing inner strength through balance and peace - we don't need to lash out".

Fiona was special guest on NOOSA FM's Monday Magazine on the 30th May (podcast below) and spoke about the art and craft of Karate and the broader, holistic affect it can have on the body, mind and spirit.

For those who may be interested in learning more about Karate, Fiona suggests trying a couple of classes at different dojos (i.e. a room or hall in which Karate and other martial arts are practiced), as all are a little different, and it's best to choose based on how you are feeling while in each dojo.

Nothing throw-away about Plastic Free Noosa

Plastic Free Noosa is a whole-of-community project to reduce Noosa's plastic footprint. The project was initiated by The Boomerang Alliance, as part of their Communities Taking Control campaign, which focuses on achieving wide scale change away from plastic pollution. 

This year, Plastic Free Noosa has set an aspirational goal to reduce the use of identified single-use plastic packaging in Noosa by 50% by November 2018. To achieve this, we engage directly with food outlets, events, markets, and other organisations to switch from single-use plastics to better alternatives. We also encourage individuals to take up a plastic-free lifestyle. 

Kellie Lindsay from Plastic Free Noosa popped in to discuss their aspirations, goals and the latest with NOOSA FM.

It is both liberating and empowering for the people of the Noosa electorate."  Sandy spoke openly with Mike Scott, host of the Monday Magazine program on NOOSA FM on the 26th March 2018.

David Williamson's latest success comes to Noosa

19/3/2018

Picture
Playwright David Williamson dropped in to NOOSA FM to discuss his most recent play 'Sorting out Rachel' with Jo Hendrie. Be sure to listen to the interview on the 'Breakfast with Jo & Simon' show from 6am - 9am this Tuesday, 20 March.

Coming to Noosa direct from the World Premiere of  SORTING OUT RACHEL at the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney, NOOSA alive! Australia’s foremost regional community performing arts and culture festival proudly presents four ‘only’ exclusive fundraising performances, taking place at The J Theatre, in Noosa on Wednesday 21 March 2pm (matinee) & 7.30pm, Thursday 22 & Friday 23 March, 7.30pm.

SORTING OUT RACHEL opened in Sydney on Wednesday, January 24 to resounding success with the Sydney season already close to totally sold!  By all accounts this show is not to be missed! With only four performances in Noosa (with no possibility of extension), we urge you to book quickly to avoid disappointment.

These performances of SORTING OUT RACHEL honour David Williamson AO, the most produced playwright in the history of Australia (amongst his many other accolades across literature, theatre, film and television).  

A fierce believer in ‘giving back’ and in the importance of culture to community, David has generously donated royalties from SORTING OUT RACHEL to NOOSA alive!

‘Culture needs to be supported and encouraged by community, without it we risk being an empty shell. The greatest fun of all is to get involved and to create ‘occasion’. The Festival, now in its 17th year is something for Noosa to be proud of. It’s the only festival of its kind in Australia and it has been delivering the very best of culture and performance to the Noosa community for a very long time. It’s great to see the recognition it gets and the calibre of performer, local and visiting, that the festival attracts and showcases. Jump on board to support the Festival’s future – You will have a great time doing something truly valuable for our community!’
David Williamson AO.

Named as one of Australia’s living national treasures, David is no stranger to Noosa, in fact he and wife Kristin are synonymous with Noosa having lived locally for many years and remain founding Patrons of NOOSA alive! (formerly the Noosa Long Weekend Festival).

Legend of The Land Visits NOOSA FM

21/12/2017

Picture
Uncle Charlie Chambers was born in Cherbourg in 1936. His parents were “Stolen. Generation from Far North Queensland.  He helped R M Williams make his mark at Rocky Bar cattle station. His art is what he sees, not what others expect. It is his own, yet has a familiar simplicity and unique quality, with wondrous ways to depict the beauty of the land.

Champion footballer and boxer, all-round hard worker, softly-spoken and compassionate man, these days he lives to tell his remarkable stories and display his life's work in art, a life which until 15 "..were the best ...", he says, but where to then, no work in Cherbourg?

Uncle Charlie wanted to earn his own way through life, regardless of the limitations imposed upon him and others under the Aboriginal Protection Act, " ...I wanted to be a drover... so I escaped Cherbourg".

He finished up head stockman and manager on R M Williams "Rocky Bar Station" Eidsvold. He was inducted into the Stockman's Hall of Fame and was introduced to the Queen on that occasion. He features in a TV documentary about his life “Man Of Many Talents and renowned for his art.

Uncle Charlie was born on the  Cherbourg mission, just 2 hours North-West of Noosa. On the 4th December 2017 he visited Noosa Heads, on the coastal border of the country on which he spent his early life and spent several hours at Noosa FM, telling his stories and displaying some of his art. In the early days, children from Cherbourg traveled to Halse Lodge for holidays and many would like to visit today to revive memories of what were the few good times, and a welcome break, from dormitory life on the mission.

It was an enjoyable day for Uncle Charlie, who has recently commenced dialysis treatment, but he hopes to return soon with a full exhibition of his art work.

All information contain has been published with the permission of B. J. Chambers. For further information on this and other details, please contact Uncle Charlie's son, Billy Joe Chambers on 0498 686 792.​

Sibylle a voice for our animals at NOOSA FM

11/10/2017

NOOSA Community Radio has recently instated a new committee ready to entertain the region.

Sibylle Reisch is now the vice president and presents a Sunday evening show called Pet Purri that's all about our furry best friends.

"The main focus is pets and animals, I've interviewed SmartPups, the Noosa RSPCA, I made a recipe for dog ice cream, it was like a dog ice block,” Sibylle said.

"I want to contact the (Noosa) Council and the (Community) Biosphere about animal problems we have, like feral cats.
"I think there's things like that we can do on the radio show for the community.
"Animals need a voice. Everyone has a pet now.”

Sibylle started off volunteering in administration for the station, but this year set her sights on presenting.

"I only did the presenter course this year, I didn't even know it was possible (to be a presenter),” Sibylle said.
"I spend three days working on my show for a two hour show.”

Thanks to digital radio and the show's time slot, Pet Purri has fans all the way from Europe, as well as one her own backyard.

"I've got people from Ireland, Spain, UK, Germany that listen in,” Sibylle said.
"And my dog Bundy, he's a maremma (sheepdog). I adopted him.”

Listen to Pet Purri on Sunday evenings, 6-8pm on Noosa FM, 101.3fm
