Ron Green | President

The Breakfast Show | The Beatles Hour

After five years getting up at 5am Monday to Friday to present his hugely popular Breakfast Show, Ron bade farewell to his loyal listener base in February 2022, handing The Breakfast Show over to four other presenters, while remaining on air every Tuesday morning.

Ron is a fantastic President at RBM and remains fully involved and committed to the station.

As well as keeping his Tuesday Breakfast Show, Ron is a huge Beatles fan and presents The Beatles Hour every fortnight on a Saturday morning. His favourite album is ‘The Beatles” (aka the White Album) though he hesitates to choose between Lennon or McCartney when asked to name his favourite song writer.

As well as his tireless work at RBM, Ron and his wife are dedicated supporters at PFLAG and Ron is also an active RFS volunteer.

Andrew Dinsdale-Scanlon | Vice President

Parke Street Social

Andrew (Dins) became a member with the Radio Blue Mountains family in 2019 and a presenter for The Parke Street Social Radio Show, a weekly dose of funk, disco, house and all things good vibe.

He has a longstanding love affair for electronica and dance music, where he mis-spent his youth  DJí’ng  around North England, whilst also gaining a long-standing club residency in  Leeds, UK, and residencies in clubs around Tokyo, Japan in the late 90’s. 

Dins became a Committee member with RBM in 2020 and quickly became Secretary for the station a few months later. In 2021, he was offered the Vice President’s role, and has kept this role since. 

As well as the weekly radio show, Dins provides our listeners with weekly broadcast updates from the Blue Mountains City Council, offers counsel to the RBM President, a Finance sub-committee member, and is involved in grant applications, so far helping to raise over $40,000 for the Station in 2020/2021 to spend on vital upgrades. 

Dins is a keen cook, malt whisky enthusiast, enjoys walks in the Mountains, and likes nothing more than sitting around a dining table, enjoying food with good friends and talking nonsense at them.

Reggie Lawless

Station Manager | Wednesday Night Music| The Beatles Hour

Raised in a musical Dublin household, his love of music and appreciation of a wide range of genres comes from family gatherings listening to his tenor father sing while being accompanied by his mother on piano. Later, his 3 older siblings would regularly arrive home from town with LP’s from the likes of Thin Lizzy, The Police, and ELO.

He disgraced the family’s pedigree when he arrived home with his first 7” single in 1980, “Kings of the Wild Frontier” by Adam & The Ants and was unceremoniously shipped out to Australia.

He loves Community Radio and is thrilled to participate in what is essentially an alternative to the mainstream. He is a father of two boys who are both taller than him now, despite being quite a bit younger.
