Sunshine FM 104.9 Sunshine Coast

Sunshine FM 104.9 Sunshine Coast The Sunshine Coast's community radio station
playing the music you love. Sunshine FM is the most listened-to radio station on the Sunshine Coast.

We're a not-for-profit broadcaster supported by community-minded businesses and organisations, right across the Sunshine Coast. We run just five minutes of paid content an hour, compared to 20+ minutes on other stations. For our listeners, that means more music, more memories, more often. For our sponsors, it means we help them reach more people than any other radio station on The Coast. We are al

so supported by wonderful volunteers who provide their time and skills in on-air, production, technical and administrative roles. Please visit our website (sunshinefm.com.au) to find out how you can connect with Sunshine FM as a volunteer, a member, a donor or a sponsor. If you like what we do, spread the word about this great little radio station you've discovered! But most of all, we'd like to thank you for your support. It is always appreciated.

Tonight, on Bob and the Baby Boomers, I'll play a track from the lady pictured who had a string of hits and I'll play her #1 song from 1960. Also tonight, a song that made it to #1 in 1952 and re-released in 1991 and climbed all the way to #2 on the charts. It was on this day in 1958 that Bobby Darin recorded "Splish Splash" so I'll play that song tonight along with songs from Jan & Dean who'll be "Sidewalk Surfin", Wayne Fontana with a solo hit from 1966, Australian band The Loved Ones with their signature song, The Young Rascals want to be with "A Girl Like You" and as usual I'll throw in some nice instrumentals as well including rare ones from The Bar-Kays and The Packabeats. It's another treat for the baby boomers tonight so join me from 8.00pm for 2 hours of music memories and information from the 50's & 60's on 104.9 SunshineFM

Tonight, on Bob and the Baby Boomers, a tribute to Johnny Tillotson who died last week at age 86. I'll play a small selection of his songs including a track that he wrote about his father who had a terminal illness. Also tonight, a track from Bob Dylan that he finished writing on this day in 1962, a song from The Supremes that was recorded on this day in 1964 and a song from Sandie Shaw that won her the Eurovision song contest in 1967. It's another great selection of music tonight from the 50's & 60's including tracks from Don Gibson, Bobby Fuller Four, Brian Hyland, Toni Arden and The Young Rascals. So, join me from 8.00pm for 2 hours of "music from a generation" on 104.9 SunshineFM

STATEMENT FROM THE CADD FAMILY

At the end of last week, our dear Brian suffered a haemorrhagic stroke whilst at home on the Gold Coast.

Fortunately, he received medical attention quickly and he is currently under the care of the Gold Coast University Hospital. He is stable and his medical team is monitoring his progress and while it will likely be a long road ahead, he is showing early, encouraging signs.

We’d like to thank the wonderful team looking after him at the Hospital and for everyone’s well wishes.

We will keep everyone updated as his condition improves but we kindly request privacy at this critical time.

Happy Wet Wednesday although let's hope it's not as wet as the legendary wet Wednesday from many years ago! Today we'll travel with Cheryl Ryan and I'll also be talking to Ian Rix from the Oriana Choir about their upcoming concerts paying tribute to two of the best pop singers of all time. It's also the anniversary of the invention in 1935 of something that has been in the news out in Western Queensland this week (or should I say the lack of it has been in the news. We'll remember the birth of a singer/songwriter who had several hits himself but he also wrote songs such as Delta lady, This Masquerade and was a session muso on hits such as River Deep Mountain High and Mr Tambourine Man.

So what does your lunch time announcer do when he finishes on air on New Year's Day? Goes and listens to live music. Happy New Year afternoon. Look closely and you'll see Kieron, our Production guru and my better half and two of my kids. This band is an Icehouse tribute band called Electric Blue. They are awesome.

Have a great day. It's Des Deighton with you this morning, Roger Neville this arvo, 6 O'Clock Rock from 6pm and the best Party Music from 7pm. Love Sunshine FM 😍 (Image from tenor.com)
