24.01.2022 On the Afternoon Programme at 12.20pm today, Jenny Seaton talks to Roland Perry, author of Red Lead. Red Lead is about an amazing cat that got off HMAS PERTH when the ship was torpedoed to the bottom of the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java on 1st March 1942. 353 sailors including the Captain, Hector Waller, drowned and 328 survived along with one cat. Surviving shellfire, torpedoes and the fierce currents of the Strait was only the beginning of terrible trials for R...ED LEAD and the crew members who managed to make it the Java shore. Dan Bolt, an officer with vet training, took the cat under his care. Along with a small group of sailors, they managed to battle on for three and half years from Java to Changi and then on the Burma-Thai railway, Red Lead was to act as a companion, mascot and occasional protector of the sailors, who made their mission to keep her alive in some of the most hellish prisoner camps on earth.

23.01.2022 On the Afternoon Programme at 12.20pm today, Jenny Seaton will be talking to historian Bobbie Oliver about the history of the Midland Railway Workshops. Currently a Senior Lecturer in Australian History and Politics at Curtin University, Dr Oliver has also taught at Murdoch, Edith Cowan and Canberra Universities and held research positions at the Australian National University and Australian War Memorial in Canberra For 90 years, the Government Railway Workshops at Midland we...re the largest industrial workshops in Western Australia, training tradesmen to build and repair locomotive engines and rolling stock, and to maintain the State's railway network that was at the heart of its economic development. Midland-trained tradesmen entered trades and professions as diverse as marine engineering, house building, and lecturing in colleges. Widespread community outrage greeted the government's decision to close the Workshops, but numerous campaigns to prevent the closure were fruitless, and the gates finally shut in March 1994. Edited by Curtin University historians Drs Patrick Bertola and Bobbie Oliver, the book The Workshops was researched and written by experts in railway, labour, social and engineering history. It gives voice to, and preserves, the experiences and skills of the many Workshops employees whose contributions to the fabric of Western Australia might otherwise have been lost forever.

16.01.2022 All Things Must Pass released on this day in 1970 is a triple album by English musician George Harrison. The album was Harrison's first solo work since the break-up of the The Beatles in April that year, and his third solo album overall. It includes the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life", as well as songs such as "Isn't It a Pity" and the title track that had been turned down for inclusion on releases by the Beatles. The album reflects the influence of Harris...on's musical activities with artists such as Bob Dylan, the Band, Delaney & Bonnie and Billy Preston during 196870, and his growth as an artist beyond his supporting role to former band mates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. All Things Must Pass introduced Harrison's signature sound, the slide guitar, and the spiritual themes that would be present throughout his subsequent solo work. The original vinyl release consisted of two LPs of songs and a third disc of informal jams, titled Apple Jam. Several commentators interpret Barry Feinstein's album cover photo, showing Harrison surrounded by four garden gnomes, as a statement on his independence from the Beatles. Production began at London's Abbey Road Studios in May 1970, with extensive overdubbing and mixing continuing through October. Among the large cast of backing musicians were Eric Clapton and Delaney & Bonnie's Friends band, three of whom formed Derek and the Dominos with Clapton during the recording, as well as Ringo Starr, Gary Wright, Preston, Klaus Voormann, John Barham, Badfinger and Pete Drake. The sessions produced a double album's worth of extra material, most of which remains unissued. All Things Must Pass was critically and commercially successful on release, with long stays at No.1 on charts around the world. The album was co-produced by Phil Spector and employs his Wall of Sound production technique to notable effect. Ben Gerson of Rolling Stone described the sound as "Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountain tops and vast horizons". According to Colin Larkin, writing in the 2011 edition of his Encyclopedia of Popular Music, All Things Must Pass is "generally rated" as the best of all the former Beatles' solo albums. During the final year of his life, Harrison oversaw a successful reissue campaign to mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release. Following this reissue, in March 2001, the set was certified six-times platinum by the The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Among its appearances in critics' best-album lists, All Things Must Pass was ranked 79th on The Times' "The 100 Best Albums of All Time" in 1993, while Rolling Stone currently places it 433rd on the magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In January 2014, All Things Must Pass was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

He has had several top 40 hits in the UK and two in the US, but he is more popular in other countries, particularly Norway and Brazil. He is most famous for his 1986 love song "The Lady in Red", which reached number one in several countries. De Burgh has sold over 45 million albums worldwide. De Burgh (Chris...topher John Davison) was born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, to Colonel Charles Davison, a British diplomat, and Maeve Emily de Burgh, an Irish secretary. His maternal grandfather was Sir Eric de Burgh, a British Army officer who had been Chief of the General Staff in India during the Second World War. He took his mother's name "de Burgh" when he began performing. His father had substantial farming interests, and Chris spent much of his early years in Malta, Nigeria and Zaire, as he, his mother and brother, accompanied Colonel Davison on his diplomatic and engineering work. The Davisons finally settled in Bargy Castle, County Wexford, Ireland, which was somewhat dilapidated at the time. It was a twelfth-century castle which Eric de Burgh bought in the 1960s. He converted it into a hotel, and the young Chris sang for the guests there. After attending Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England, de Burgh went on to graduate from Trinity College, Dublin, with a Master of Arts degree in French, English and History. Chris de Burgh had an across-the-board success with the ballad "The Lady in Red" in late 1986. The single became a No.1 hit in the UK (No.3 in America) and its accompanying album, Into the Light, reached No.2 in the UK (No.25 in USA). That Christmas season, a re-release of de Burgh's 1976 Christmas song "A Spaceman Came Travelling" became a Top 40 hit in the UK. Chris de Burgh has been married to his wife Diane since 1977 and lives in Enniskerry, County Wicklow in Ireland, having moved there from Dalkey, Dublin in 1997. They have two sons, Hubie and Michael, and a daughter, Rosanna, best known as the winner of the Miss World competition in 2003 for Ireland. He is a distant descendant of the 13th-century English nobleman Hubert de Burgh, who features prominently in Shakespeare's play The Life and Death of King John. His second-cousin, Danny Kinahan of Castle Upton, was elected Member of Parliament for South Antrim in 2015.

04.01.2022 On the Afternoon Programme at 2.20pm today, Jenny Seaton will be talking to Steve Eagle, Co-Founder and Director of "How to buy Australian made products". There’s never been a more important time to champion Aussie-made products. Australia has some of the most innovative manufacturers in the world, but everyone tends to assumes that buying Australian-made, while it may mean higher quality, will probably mean much higher prices. That’s because Australian labour rates are first world, making it hard to compete when workers are earning just a few dollars an hour in other countries. But is that really the case?
