WITH THANKS!
This powerful and moving interview has been the most Played on Demand Interview on Around the Wireless and very possibly the most Re played since 94.9mainFM https://www.mainfm.net/ began uploading to mixcloud over 6 years ago. Small Regional Community Radio is Presented by Volunteers and heard locally, usually over a 30 to 40 K radius along with Listeners On Line. It is fair to say it is a limited yet dedicated audience. To have an Upload reach 199 Play's on Demand in under a month is Remarkable. (NOTE. The closest I could find was 150+) THANKS to everyone that Listened to Dan Fortune speak about the heartbreaking yet Magnificent Documentary on the Real story of Australia's SAS in Afghanistan. Bravery and Betrayal has gone on to SELL OUT at Limited Screenings in Cinemas and Booked Group Screenings being lauded by audiences with Standing Ovations and Deathly Silence breaking into rapturous applause. This is the Documentary that some in our Military and Media did not want Australia to see declaring it a MUST see. https://wanderingwarriors.org/bravery-betrayal-the.../

Around the Wireless 94.9mainFM talks on the phone with the inimitable Mic Conway of the ground breaking genre bending Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, Circus Oz, the National Junk Band and The Wiggles. It's been a year since we last had a chat. Since then the Doco on the life and times of Mic and brother Jim has been released to rave reviews. Mic talks about the making of the Doco, the challenges of getting on the screen big and small. We look back on Mic's time with the ABC and Children's legends "The Wiggles". I asked Mic about the sad revelation that only 3 Australian albums were in this years ARIA Top 100. Mic Conway has so many incredible skills, discussing them all would take hours, nonetheless I had to ask Mic about Fire and why he brought it into his act. Prepare yourself, Mic and his great Mate Robbie Long will bringing a match, laughs, music and chaos to The Coolroom at The Northern Arts Hotel. https://events.humanitix.com/mic-and-robbie?hxchl=hex-pfl
