  • Rick Pointon - Hey Rock n Roll

    23/08/2023 Duração: 35min

    Art Ryan describes Rick Pointon as 'Newcastle rock royalty', and Rick is perhaps best known for his work with the legendary Benny & The Jets. At their peak, Benny & The Jets performed more than 300 nights each year and have worked with some incredible Australian and international industry figures. If you grew up with Johnny O'Keefe in your ears and seeing bands at venues like the Palais, the Impala or even Bus Stop - you'll love the stories Rick tells in his book. What was 'Henry Mousetraps', and what did Sandra the Go Go Girl have to do with Barry Gibb's secret visit to Newcastle in 1963? Rick also lays to rest the oft-told tale of Little Richard's religious epiphany that led him to throw his jewellery into the harbour.

  • Newcastle 1899 Diorama - Ross Balderson

    07/07/2023 Duração: 12min

    In June 2018, Ross Balderson shared a photo in the Lost Newcastle Facebook Group of a scale model scene of Newcastle 1899 that he was building. Not only did people not mind Ross sharing a photo of his incredible model work, the photos and conversations have continued ever since. Ross says he was inspired to build the scale model after seeing a Ralph Snowball photograph of the city - a labor of love that took ten years to complete! Ross has finally been able to bring his diorama of Newcastle in 1899 to Newcastle Museum, complete with operating scale model trains that work their way around the harbour and models of ships that are historically accurate and visitors to the port of Newcastle. Lost Newcastle founder, Carol Duncan, caught up with Ross Balderson at Newcastle Museum.

    In 2009, I had the chance to interview the legendary Stevie Wright - lead singer of The Easybeats in the 1960s and trouble rockstar ever after. I was warned in advance that I should pre-record the interview as Stevie was 'a bit slow' after years of serious drug and alcohol abuse. Happily, I didn't find him at all difficult to chat with. Indeed, Stevie's openness about his heroin addiction and his desperation to shake it are incredibly moving.

  • Ben Gillies - Silverchair/Bento 2012

    10/01/2018 Duração: 19min

    Silverchair have been one of Australia's most successful bands for the last 20 years. Drummer Ben Gillies joined Carol Duncan in the studio for a chat about his solo project - Bento, and why he continues to call Newcastle home. Daniel Johns, Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies were just kids doing work experience at a Newcastle radio station when I first met them nearly 20 years ago. Those three boys have gone on to become strong and confident men and wonderful musicians - collectively and individually. I suspect the whole town is pretty proud of them.In 2012, the band have celebrated 20 years of Australian and international success, 21 ARIA awards from 49 nominations, 6 APRA awards, and all five of their studio albums have reached number one of the Australian album charts.Over the last few years the three members of the band have also gone out to do their own musical projects and drummer, Ben Gillies, came into the studios to talk about life, music, growing up in public, and taking the leap into solo performance.W
