We’ve got your household names, your radio favourites… And then, in celebration of NAIDOC Week (which begins same day, 8 November), we’re also bringing you an episode full of poignant, unmissable performances by some of our best First Nation voices. This will not disappoint!
Joining hosts Jane Gazzo and Bridget Hustwaite on Sunday are two special guest co-hosts: first up, 17x ARIA nominee and radio broadcaster Christine Anu. With a career spanning 27 years and the promise of new music in 2021, incredibly it’s been 25 years since the release of her debut platinum album, Stylin’ Up, plus the iconic smash hit that was ‘My Island Home’ (a Warumpi Band cover). She is joined by one of our best-loved names: Olympic medallist, ground-breaking sprinter and star of that infamous, once-in-a-lifetime track race: Cathy Freeman OAM.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
