Blind and Low Vision NZ is launching an independent culture review after getting complaints about the treatment of clients and employees. Blind Citizens New Zealand president Dr Jonathan Godfrey said a delegation from his organisation met Blind and Low Vision NZ two weeks ago to bring to their attention a number of complaints raised by members.
Katie chats to Rachel Olsson from Queensland sister duo Innocent Eve about their superb new album,
Viking. Rachel and Bec sing folk, Americana and nu-country styles – whatever you want to call it, it’s great! There are also awesome new tunes by other artists, and a couple of old favourites. Here is the playlist:
The Housebuilding Song – David Ferguson ~
Little Lady – Julian James
This announcer spotlight was written by Michelle Gearon and first published in our biannual member magazine, Easey Mag, May 2020 edition. We hope you enjoy reading this insight into story of Acid Country announcer, David Heard.
David Heard remembers sitting on a train between Geelong and Melbourne in 1978 reading an article in the Green Guide about a group of people who were “plotting a revolution” for the airwaves of Melbourne. The new station would be unique, innovative, and would focus on music that did not receive airplay on commercial stations. An avid music lover, David decided to attend a meeting at the Prince of Wales Hotel, St Kilda, to find out more about this bunch of radio revolutionaries. Over 40 years later, the Acid Country presenter is still a dedicated volunteer.
