Today on your bFM Breakfast: A few words from the man himself, Big Breakfast to take in this morning; "In the interests of station budget belt-tightening and being the best Daddy I can be, it’s with a heavy but eternally grateful heart I am announcing my departure from The Greatest Radio Station In The World - 95bFM. I know, we’ve been through this before (a few times, right?). My love for this job is deep, eternal and well documented. Returning to bFM and being asked to host the Breakfast show for the last two years was unexpected, utterly flattering and has been a very very good time. I can now say I’ve clocked up over 25 years with this plucky grunty little workhorse of a station and for that i couldn’t be more proud. If the station has ingested even a little of my energy, my desire for our cool South Pacific beachside city and my adoration of great great music , then I feel I’ve done my job. Making great radio is what I love doing and an exciting thrilling future beckons! See you there! My deepest Love and Respect to all of you have helped create radio with me and all who have enjoyed listening to that radio. Thank you thank you thank you. Don’t panic. I’ll still see you at gigs." As well as all our other usual Wednesday carry-on.
Totally fizzing tonight over the new Delaney Davidson & Barry Saunders album - so there's a few tracks off that. Some brand new tunes from bands discovered on a heartland america gig poster, Johnny Mile & The Kilometres and Joshua Reilly & The Corn Fed locals. Vintage Willie, vintage Neil and some fruity 1970's jams. Marlon live in the bFM lounge. Tex Pistol covers Tiahape's finest; Daggy & The Dickheads and heaps more. Especially Delaney & Barry.
