So, while 'Great Southern Land' is having a week's rest, Michael is presenting a one-off special of the CBAA-nominated show, 'Under the Covers'. He has all new musical journeys for you to savour with tracks from Jackson Browne, Australia's favourite Hindley Street Country Club, Status Quo, Tina Arena, something remarkable from Adam Sandler (yes, you read that right) and plenty more.

Under the Covers - it's a world of difference.

What a great night on 'Great Southern Land' last evening! The Central Coast's own music success story, Little Quirks, joined Michael and a studio audience. They talked about their journey so far and upcoming activities.

We are pleased to advise that they set off shortly for a tour supporting The Cat Empire, Sarah Blasko and Rob Thomas, frontman for Matchbox 20. After a short break, they set off on a national tour - and there will be a Central Coast show! You can check out details via their website or socials.

Coast FM and 'Great Southern Land' congratulate the band for their achievements so far and wish them luck for the tours.

Here is Abbey, Jaymi and Mia with live audience members/big fans, Gabi and Lachie.
