GREG'S BIO
Greg Dwyer has lived and worked in more than 12 countries around the world before coming to Cairns. After 24 years in the Entertainment Industry as Actor, Director, Technician, Designer and Artist for Film, Televison, Stage and Radio.

He is currently working in a totally different area of employment all together - and really enjoys the change by presenting the Monday Morning 7am to 9am "Daybreak Again" two hour show.

The show is a journey from all periods and all countries and usually runs a little like this.

A founding member of the Cairns Broadcasting Society I was thrust in front of a microphone by the late Ian Coughlan when I passed a disparaging remark about a folk programme during a test broadcast. My main interest was Celtic and English Folk music but I also hosted easy listening shows. I cut my teeth at 4TTT in Townsville as Folk/Country co-ordinator and later as the second Chairman of the Board. Upon returning to Cairns I settled in to a regular folk and easy listening schedule, sharing a sunday night "Music to Midnight" with Peter Cresswell until 1989.

Paul has been a patron of the Cairns area for the past 30 years, a resident of Cairns for the past 10 years.

Working as a repairer of electrical equipment, including a few years of travelling around Queensland and Papua New Guinea repairing computer mainframes as a computer engineer for the then 3rd largest computer manufacturer in the world.

Played a violin as a young man and got interested in bel canto operas.

Originally from England, I emigrated to the Central Coast of New South Wales in 1970. I met and married Jeanette and we have one son, Glen, who is a sports reporter for TV station channel 10 in Sydney.

My first involvement in radio was with 2CCC in Gosford NSW. I presented the Saturday breakfast show for some years before moving to Cairns in September of 2002.

I started my on air activities in Cairns in January of 2003 as a stand in presenter for the breakfast programme and was then offered my own time slot. I am currently heard on air every Tuesday from 11am to 1pm presenting music from the world charts 1956-1985.

Helen joined Cairns FM 89.1 late in 2002, reading news on the RPH programme.

She comes from a family with a strong belief in community: her mum still does community work in Canada at the age of 84!

Helen has a love of jazz, starting from a very young age. She grew up listening to her brother teach himself to play jazz piano by ear, and developed an eclectic taste, ranging from Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, to Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk.

Helen says it is hard to believe she has been presenting Jazz on Saturday at Cairns FM 89.1 for three years. “It seems like only yesterday that I was nervously preparing to present my first jazz show. I really enjoy playing the music I love, sharing it with my listeners - putting some joy and magic into everyone’s Saturday afternoon.”

Helen also enjoys presenting the Golden Memories programme on the third Sunday of each month.
