The Coodabeens with David Hobson |
|
Welcome to the Coodabeens
Irreverence, wit, humour and the odd tall story are the order of the day when The Coodabeens take the microphone. Jeff Richardson, Ian Cover, Greg Champion and Billy Baxter are the Coodabeens and you can catch them on ABC Radio 6.30 to 9pm on Sunday nights. (AEST)

THE COODABEEN CHAMPIONS SATURDAY NIGHT SOIREE
Last Saturday saw the first of the Coodabeens new Saturday night summer season program, The Saturday Night Soiree, and what a way to kick off!
Renowned opera singer, David Hobson joined the boys to launch his new album of pop songs, A Little Closer . The highlight of David's visit was his two songs accompanied by our very own jingle-jangle-jukebox, Champs!
The boys decided to have a bit of fun on Saturday in the lead up to the NRL Grand Final, cold calling the Manly Leagues Club in Sydney to see how the mood was there. With a bit of negotiating, the boys were put through to the green room where Anthems of Oz were about to rock out!
And this was all just in the first weekend!
Over the summer, the Coodabeens will be on your radio in the 7-10 slot. Its not strictly The Idlers from previous years, but will incorporate some of the magic that made The Idlers a popular Summer listening experience.

The Coodabeens' Theme
The Coodabeen Champions are often asked about the theme music which introduces both their Saturday footy show and the Sunday night program. It is the theme from the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly composed by Ennio Morricone. The Coodabeens use the version by Hugo Montenegro and His Orchestra.
