Judy Boreham is stepping up to the mic as the new presenter of the New Shakedown, Fridays 9 - 11 am, following closely in the footsteps of Gina Baker, her former partner in BayFM show Upstaged.

Tune in for news, views and interviews on local, national and global issues and events to do with environment, human rights and social justice. And this is the place to hear the latest in local contemporary music, a New Shakedown tradition.

 The Shakedown was the creation of Terrie Wells aka Red Terra. The programme debuted in 1988 on BayFm’s first mock broadcast, before the station even had an airwave. A pioneer environment programme here, indeed one of the first in Australia.
“I want to shake it up. Change urban thinking to earth thinking, get people motivated to make change and remember what really matters; that without the Earth we are nothing.”
Red loved to find experts and give them an opportunity to go deep, way beyond the 30 second grab. The show was issues based and focused mainly on Australian and local issues. Listen to campaigners and front line activists talk about climate change, nukes, genetic engineering, whales and whaling, forests and biodiversity. Also alternatives, positives, politics, politicians and globalisation.

“We live in times of giant emergency and those of us alive today have a huge responsibility: to learn to live today, so that those who come after us can have a tomorrow.”   For the Earth.

Red Terra passed away 2009.

Mel likes to have fun, but that doesn't mean she shy's away from
serious issues.

On Rollin' you will hear folk, rock, country and splashes of other music tastes.

Who does she interview? Anyone who wants air time. Really? Why not? It's community radio isn't it?
Random live performances and random people in general will keep you tuned to your transistor. Tune in weekly to be part of the Rollin' culture on Tuesday drive time. 

Proud of community media.....Proud to part of BayFM.

 Eclectic mind expanding breakfast show with Mitch & Harry.

Tune in on Sunday mornings for an intoxicating mix of jazz from Swing, Bebop, West Coast Cool, Hard Bop and Latin through to a bit of Nu Jazz and the very latest from contemporary musicians.

When asked ‘What is Jazz?’. The great Louis Armstrong replied, ‘If you have to ask, you’ll never know’.

I hope you will share my love of this incredible music - you won’t have to ask what it is, just sit back and listen. I can promise you magic will happen.

Paul plays a 'rough mix' of rock, blues, folk, world and alternative country music.   Local bands and singer songwriters will feature along with bands gigging in the shire.

The phase-in dnb show with Pixie...Pixie repping the local & international dnb vibes! Bringing drum & bass to Byron Bay in a big way, Pixie has worked at SYN FM Melbourne, triple j & completed studies in commercial radio broadcasting. 'I just love dnb & want to bring you Monday madness sounds!'

'A Long Strange Trip' concentrated on the Music of the Grateful Dead for two years and has expanded its consciousness further in the last six months.

There is a genre of music coming out of the US loosely described as 'JAMBAND', It's more about the music than ever before, extended jams, stretching and exploratory improvisational live performances, as well as a fiercely independent and organic distribution of music and news!

Bands such as Widespread Panic, Phish, moe., Railroad Earth. Yonder Mountain String Band, Tea Leaf Green, Hot Buttered Rum, etc. All have an original style and a wonderful connection with their audiences..

I'll be playing choice live cuts from the jamband scene, giving you updates and news about the ever expanding festival scene, as well as new and vault releases and stepping back into the time machine to bring you more of the intense psychedelic music of the Grateful Dead, Zappa etc.

I'm pretty sure that if you listen to this show you will be exposed to music that has NEVER been played on Australian Radio!

So..... Light the Incense, settle back into the bean-bag or when in doubt: twirl!

Hit www.myspace.com/icecremekid for updates, playlists etc and if there is anyone you'd think I'd like or you'd like to hear, please, get in touch!!!

The Ice Cream Kid     

PS:  All live recordings played are sanctioned by the bands involved. There are lists out there of bands that encourage the taping and trading of live recordings so as long as NO MONEY changes hands.  It's all good.  Tune In!

DJ Selector plays reggae, ska, dub and culture.
