The blues radio show River Blues is broadcasted on community radio station 5MBS every Friday and Saturday night (check the schedule below).
 
With the recent retirement of long-time presenter Terry Heazlewood, 5MBS are looking for a new presenter to join the team who present this show. A love of blues music is essential, radio experience is not. Full training will be given and the new presenter would initially present one edition of the show per month.
 
Radio 5MBS is located at Hindmarsh, the station website is HERE
 
Interested persons should contact Tess Coleman: sistertss@gmail.com
