Ralph  presents an eclectic mix of old and contemporary versions of music, steeped in funk soul, R&B from 50s through 2Os with a weekly special of a live recorded performance from the archives.
A special feature is Past and Now in which music and art industry guests are invited to select a series of hit songs they loved from their past that have contemporary cover versions to talk about their influence on their own life and work and whether the new cover version is to their liking.
Ralph  has a 40 year career in the creative industries including being one of the first VJs in Australia in the 80s curating and programming music videos for clubs and as associate producer with Channel 7’s music programme Saturday Morning Live with Jono and Dano.
