​Recently returned to Bendigo with a view to enjoying a nice balance of work, rest, and play as well as ongoing involvement in Music and Entertainment.
 
As a musician and Performer, I’m always looking to find new, interesting, clever and fun music and songs to add to my ever growing collection.

​
My preference leans toward the ‘Country’ / ‘Hillbilly’ sound where most of my favourite discoveries have been found. Great originals, Interesting covers of both modern and old songs, humorous subject matter and tunes that inspire a  ‘toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’  good time.
 
I believe it is my duty to share these discoveries with the greater community, and Community radio is the perfect place to do just that.

Mick Griffin began hosting the program ``Rock Bottom`` at Phoenix FM on Boxing Day 2011.
``Rock Bottom`` is without a doubt  one of the loudest programs on Central Victorian airwaves, playing as it does a wide ranging mix of Hard Rock, Punk, Sleaze, Garage and Stoner Rock…The brief for ``Rock Bottom``, which airs Sundays 7.00 to 10.00PM, has always been that of PURE ROCK & ROLL!

Mick also hosts  ``Queens of Noize`` every Thursday evening  10.00PM to Midnight, a program dedicated to airing the very best, and very loudest  in female and female fronted Rock acts from all over the world…FEMALE FUELLED ROCK & ROLL!
​
Both of these programs proudly boast a large quotient of music from independent acts the world over.
Bitten by the Rock & Roll bug at an early age and ingrained with a life-long restless and insatiable appetite for fresh new music (of the loud variety), Mick has been a constant presence on the live music scene for many years as a promoter, photographer, biographer and interviewer. The best way to sum Mick up is that of an all round Rock & Roll carnival barker

Bill Whitbread first became involved with community radio in the early 1980’s when he became involved in regular segments on 3CCC Harcourt with regard to changes to the Foster Care Legislation.
Bill is a foundation member of Phoenix FM and has served several terms on the Committee of Management and is currently on the Committee of Management.

​Anne Conway joined the then fledgling Central Victorian Community Broadcasters Inc (which was to become known as Phoenix FM) in 2007 and was a foundation Committee of Management member. Anne was extremely instrumental in our efforts to obtain a full time broadcast licence which we succeeded in doing on 31 March 2010.

I have a passion for music and listening to community radio, partly due to my visual impairment. I have a part time DJ and sound business also. I have just completed the Diploma of IT at BRIT, and have several certificate 4’s in websites and IT. I studied cert 4 in Music Industry also.  Recently, I really enjoyed updating and maintaining the website for Phoenix FM , and I am very grateful for the opportunity and experience this has given me. I hope to be a presenter soon as I love Enya and many different music styles. I am 25 years old and wish to support Phoenix in any way I can, as well as pursuing a career in IT and web.
