The H Files with Kevin Hillier

• The H Files with Kevin Hillier Episode 16 Steven Kilbey The Church & Gary Sandy WKRP in Cincinnati .

  It is another very entertaining episode of The H Files with guests Steve Kilbey and Gary Sandy. Kilbey is one of the most original, outspoken and refreshing performers in Australian music and is not shy with his views on the business. As he prepares for a career retrospective tour of the country, he is in good form about the past, present and future. American actor Gary Sandy was the star of WKRP in Cincinnati, a hugely successful seventies sitcom set in a radio station. Gary has carved out a successful acting career, mostly in theatre, since the heady days of playing Andy Travis, the program director of the fictitious radio station. He recalls many great stories from a very talented ensemble cast including Howard Hesseman, Loni Anderson and Gordon Jump.

• The H Files with Kevin Hillier Episode 14 Brett Garsed & from the H Files Vault John Farnham

  Brett Garsed is a hell of a guitar player and brilliant musician who came to prominence in the Whispering Jack days with John Farnham. Brett travelled the world with his guitar but has settled back in regional Victoria and chats about his latest work on the Horizon project, his solo material and the Farnham days. For the first time we also open the H Files Vault and find an episode of Kev's old national radio show Rocksat, which features John Farnham launching the Chain Reaction album in September 1990. The premise of Rocksat was to give radio listeners across Australia access to one of the big stars of the day at 9pm on a Wednesday night. This episode was recorded at AAV Metropolis studios in South Melbourne and had a live studio audience as well as listeners on nearly 30 stations across the country. Amazing what we did before the internet!
