I was so elated to have scheduled some time with soon to broadcast nationally Gold104.3 Breakfast presenter Christian O’Connell that I did a stupid typo in my effusive thank you email to the publicist Marisa who arranged it.

“Excited to shat!”

I pressed send, looked at it again and then reeled in horror.

As it turns out, this soul filling radio announcer, author, mentor and acupuncturist (I’ll come back to that last one) delights at the absurd in the mundane.

Jen Seyderhelm CHATS with Christian O'Connell.

Legendary Australian performer, singer and entrepreneur Col Joye has died, aged 89. As a singer he enjoyed numerous hits in the late 50s, 60s and 70s, solo, and with his band the Joy Boys. Later he and his brother Kevin Jacobsen (Col’s real name is Colin Jacobsen AM) started a hugely influential entertainment management, publishing and recording business, introducing Australia and the world to bands like The Bee Gees.

Col was one of our first rock and rollers to find chart success, alongside the mighty Johnny O’Keefe. Col Joye and the Joy Boy‘s breakthrough hit, Bye Bye Baby, is now part of the Sounds of Australia collection at the NFSA. One of the most extraordinary things about the song was that Col had a heavy cold on the day of the recording but pushed through. You can actually hear him sniffling in the background!

The last time we reported a rumour about Jonesy and Amanda we were able to correct the speculation from other publications pretty quickly.

We reported that Jonesy and Amanda were not going to move to Triple M: Zero truth in the Jonesy and Amanda Triple M rumour.

But there is another rumour swirling around the Gold FM Sydney breakfast pair that won’t go away so easily.

The rumour is that Christian O’Connell‘s Melbourne breakfast show will do a Kyle & Jackie in reverse and be networked into Sydney.
