Rock N Roll Smorgasboard
Every Monday night from 8PM, John Robb is joined by Lord Pig for the Rock N Roll Smorgasboard. The show a wide variety of music, focusing on new and unsigned talent, even bands from our own broadcast area (Holroyd, Parramatta, Baulkham Hills), mixed in with well known artists.
Along with the great music, there are a few sections, that are, well, unique!
- Dodgy Song: At 9.00pm the boys dig out and play a dodgy song... A track that is really bad or poorly recorded or something just downright ridiculous!!
- 78RPM: At 9.30pm hear a real blast from the past when the Smorgasbord plays an old 78RPM record... scratches and all. No digital enhancement, just the original 10 inch record.
- In Concert: At 10pm hear "in concert" - 3 tracks recorded live! If you're in a band and have recorded one of your gigs, send it in to be included in the segment.
- Weekly World News: After "In Concert", you can hear Weekly World News. News from around the world that you won't hear on other news broadcasts. It truly is unique!
Poetry
What Rock and Roll show would be complete without a dose of poetry? The Rock N Roll Smorgasboard has you covered! John Robb and Lord Pig have recently been asking regular listeners to send in their poetry, either by email or fax, or as a CD. This segment is proving popular with their regular listeners, and has had people putting in huge efforts for the show.
A collection of the best (or wackiest!) poetry is available online for you to read. Take a look at the poetry!
