Sorry I missed last Tuesdays show people - went down to Sydney (Liverpool) and back on Monday - left here at 11:30 and got back at 10:30pm…. The trip home was reasonably normal but took 2 hours to get from Hartley to just past Katoomba…

Back and neck seized up - I need to listen to my specialists and not do that sort of crap !

If tuning in on your iPhone or other device, the app “Community Radio Plus” is supposed to be the best app for listening in on Community Radio anywhere .

Just type in Orange for the area and you’ll see all the Community Radio stations in the area.

I’d recommend tuning in in a tuner/ receiver and good sound system if possible… there’s nothing like good blues music .. UP LOUD !!!

14/03/2023

Tune in to Orange Comm Radio 107.5 fm tonight from 7pm.

A special guest joins me tonight, Austen Logan - to talk about his recently released EP “Lights, Trains and Growing Pains”, and listen to a couple of tracks.
Also live music news from the region, and the best of Ausssie and Classic blues music !

28/02/2023

Another fun night on air, bringing you as much good Aussie music as my 2 hour slot will allow (apart from Kevin’s closing song tonight.. sorry 😵‍💫).

Make sure any local artists you might know, get in touch with me about their gigs, and definitely have them send in any good quality (as in sound quality) music if theirs so I can get it out there.

Music Venue owners are also invited to send me their upcoming music program so I can promote all the live music possible .

Hope you all enjoyed the show !

26/02/2023

Calling Aussie artists and bands (particularly those based west of the Mountains), send me your music / releases as mp3s, and I’ll work on getting them on air - Tuesday evenings between 7-9pm, on Community radio 107.5 fm , “The LAB”.

Likewise, any venues in the Central West who would like their upcoming live music promoted, email me what you’ve got happening !

Preferred contact by DM through the L.A.B page / messenger, or if that’s a problem ,

Email: [email protected]

Catch you on Tuesday night !

PS: I put up the playlists of each nights music on the LAB page , so get into them - some incredible music out there in Oz !!

If you are a supporter of Aussie music, especially Aussie live music , Please spread the word about both the radio program and this page ;

The station managers recommend the
“community radio plus” app (or I guess you can tune in directly if you’re in the broadcast area, which envompassss most of the Cabonne and Orange council areas, plus some) to listen to Community radio stations.

Cheers
John

Hi all.

Kicking off our weekly radio slot on 107.5 fm Community Radio.

Tuesday Evenings from 7-9pm

"the L.A.B" will be primarily about local musicians, local venues, and Aussies doing it anywhere around Australia or the world.

Blues music, particularly by Australian artists, will be what I focus on with any time left each week.

PLEASE: if you are an artist, know any local artists, or venue owners, get them to get in touch - this show/ page will be about promoting the live music industry in the Central West of NSW...

Artists/ venues an get in touch by messaging me here at this page. I will endeavour to get a mobile phone for contact during the shows.

Another important service I want to offer is promoting any music that is released by our local/ Aussie artists - and if you're keen to come in and chat about your music and play a few tunes (even live (acoustic), let me know !

I hope the show takes off and gets a good audience base - hopefully you'll all enjoy what I hope to bring you each week !
