PBS Volunteer News- 9 - 2015
Paul Kidney once told me that the reason he came
to PBS was because he heard Adrian Ockerby playing WAY OUT
music in the middle of the day during the working week. The music was weird, and
unpalatable (for some). You definitely wouldn't hear that on any other radio.
Paul's immediate reaction was "WOW! I want to go to THAT
place!" A respected guy from Sydney's freak-grunge scene, in such seminal
acts as Southern Fried Kidneys, Kiss My Poodles Donkey and Monroe’s Fur, Paul
turned his attention to radio. Since then, Paul Kidney has developed a
world class radio program presenting improvised music, free jazz, psychedelia,
noise and heaps of other undefinable sounds on his radio show EAR OF THE
BEHEARER. Now let's face it, his slot is not the easiest of gigs,
because it's an overnight show. But Paul kept at it, and by golly he's
still doing it. Paul Kidney: Admired, respected and loved by many! Paul's
having a party to celebrate his 10 years on air, and he's evening playing in
his own band: The Paul Kidney Experience. Did you know you can come too? Click here for the details! Thank you
Paul Kidney, you're one of many great volunteers that makes a wonderful
contribution to PBS. Would you like to volunteer at PBS? There's some
vacant roles below!
