Radio Fiji One

At a recent gathering of Fiji Alumni we were talking about Radio Fiji One - Fiji's English Language Station - and just how "freaking awful" it was.  Just for laughs we were putting together a playlist for your average music show, so I have decided to reproduce your typical afternoon session so you too can see what we endured every single day of our lives:










































































Now everyone from Fiji is running away screaming.

Yup, I'm only half kidding because this pretty much was the playlist of our lives. Is it any wonder we were desperate for something different, so whenever possible we'd take our radios down to Loloma Beach and see if today was one of those lucky, lucky days when we could pick up the New Zealand pirate station Radio Hauraki?

You know, everyone who lived in Fiji during the 60s and 70s should set up shrines to Lovey Rounds for liberating us all from the tyranny of our Jim Reeves and Bony M. playlists!

So let's end this post on the most appropriate note: "Lovey, thank you so much, vinaka vaka levu, we all owe you so much." and for the final time  "Love you, Lovey!!!" because she HATES being known as Lovey these days, and given who she now is, we must be formal.
