BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series

BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series Guest Greg Clark is a radio, TV, and advertising legend in South Australia. He’ll be remembered by many as one of the hot jocks of the 80s, spinning discs and taking requests on radio, as well as venturing into various TV shows that married current radio stars with music and chatter. Since then, he forged a career voicing and producing commercials for his own business Greg Clark Productions. Greg joined his first band while in High School, they were originally called 'Brink Water', and changed their name to 'Vancouver' a few years later. Greg was also the vocalist for local band 'FM Band', and still plays drums with his first band once a month at the Wassail Wine Bar in Prospect, they are now called 'PlanBeat'. After briefly working as a laborer putting up fences for the Red Scheme, Greg got his break with 5KA as a teenager, working in the production sphere of radio 5KA in Franklin Street, Adelaide. Starting as a cart boy at 5KA and moving through the ranks of production manager, announcer, TV presenter, freelance voiceover artist, and studio owner. Greg paneled many on air programmes and got to rub shoulders with some of the most seasoned broadcasters in the country. Luckily, a lot of their knowledge was shared and a fair amount of their polish rubbed off on Greg as well, as he transitioned into voicing commercials and presenting on air. From 1977 through to 1996 it was full time presenting with the occasional dabble in the production suite at multiple stations 5AD, SAFM & 5AA as well as presenting music shows on television, firstly on ADS7 then at NWS9 for many years. In 1997 Greg partnered up with a couple of seasoned video directors to form a one stop shop TV & Radio production company. Greg Clark Productions worked as an adjunct of Edit-Co for much of the nineties, and until now, has dominated the airwaves of Adelaide TV & radio with it's output.

Music: "Band It About" theme song, written and recorded by Catherine Lambert and Michael Bryant. Outro: 'PlanBeat' performing the 1966 pop hit "Hold Tight", which was originally written and recorded by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, & Tich.
