Australia's Golden Guitar nominated Jason Lee has released ‘Whiskey Kinda Night’, his newest single off his forthcoming album set for release in 2021. ‘Whiskey Kinda Night’ follows the success of his previous single, ‘She’s In It’, which charted high on The Music Network Country Hot 50 airplay. Jason's influences stem from the likes of Merle Haggard, Slim Dusty, George Jones through to Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban and Jason Aldean, but there's no mistaking his own unique country sound. With a successful career spanning over 15 years, the best is yet to come. Jason had a chin wag with FAB FM's Paul Makin about his music, career, a move from the big smoke to a coastal setting and his run in with 'The Black Dog'. https://jasonlee.com.au/

A new newspaper wants to open in the Douglas Shire and while 4 Douglas Shire Councillors are happy for that to happen in the future, they today joined forces to scuttle an up front money proposal by voting an emphatic No! The commercial Newspaper from Cape York wanted $10,000 of Ratepayers money to set up a local office. While Mayor Michael Kerr wanted it to go through, he was the lone hand to go up. There were other things on the agenda including a playgrounds upgrade and the Council is building a bridge, or at least making them safer and nicer. 'The Splash Park' is getting closer to becoming a reality. FAB FM's Paul Makin spoke to the Mayor after the meeting. ****THE SOUND ON THIS PODCAST HAS NOW BEEN FIXED AND THE INTERVIEW WITH THE MAYOR IS PRESENTED IN FULL****

Catherine Britt is an international country music sensation. Given support from one of her most dedicate fans, Sir Elton John, this Newcastle born woman has gone from strength to strength. She's a singer, songwriter with a brand new album under her belt.
Catherine’s new album is entitled 'Home Truths' which is very personal and from the heart. This album is also a new beginning. This is Catherine’s first release in over 20 years as a completely independent Australian artist. It’s a decision based on Catherine wanting complete control of her career – and having ownership of her own recording masters and copyrights. That’s something that – now as a parent of two young children – she believes is important – and something to pass on to them. Catherine chats to FAB FM's Paul Makin about her life and career including her brush with breast cancer, something that made her even more determined to leave a legacy. https://catherinebritt.com/
