Well it was ‘that time of year’ again (“I always thought it was in March though”) when Sydney comes together and embraces this amazing spectacular. Crowds gather in their thousands and scream with all their might to show support for these truly unique characters. “I love seeing fit blokes, doing what they love and giving [...]

After the roaring success of The Sheik’s ‘Valentines Special’ Eclectique of last year, (“Two couples have gone on to marry, which is nice”) there was a real temptation to back it up this year and give the listeners the arrow in the buttocks again. But alas, The Sheik is a purist, and Valentines Day wasn’t [...]

“Everyone’s gotta learn sometime” ( by The Korgis) is a saying we’d all like to believe, and most apt as the opening song in the latest edition of the Eclectique show. Having received an email through the week that had his name spelt incorrectly, “which is a little odd, given that to send me an [...]

“It’s not often I get requests” says The Sheik, “and it’s not often I speak to men named ‘Georgina’ ” but that was exactly what happened during this weeks Eclectique show. Unfortunately there was no ‘Supertramp’ in the kit bag so our dear listener didn’t quite get what he wanted, but it was some small [...]

Fancy Dress parties have never been held in high regard by The Sheik, “unless it’s a Saudi Arabian theme, then it’s alright by me” but there was two very good reasons to consider passing up regular duties behind the wheel in Studio A at Eastside FM. For one, it was good friend Virginia’s birthday party. [...]

FM stations aren’t generally the place for personal and professional attacks on hollywood celebrity……..(ahem), but there’s been no love lost between John Travolta and The Sheik over the years “not since he did the film ‘Michael’ ”. So last week when The Sheik played something from the ‘Urban Cowboy’ soundtrack there was a slight glimmer of hope that there [...]
ECLECTIQUE: 09.01.10
The Sheik ignored Sydney Festival’s requests to put back his return to the mic for another week “cause it’s my mums birthday next week, and she’s not getting any younger” and while it seems the battle for attention may have tipped slightly in favour of Al Green, there was no question that certain people at [...]
Eclectique 18th Dec
Another good week for The Sheik ”I really should’ve done Lotto”, with great news on his problem knee “could be another season in me yet!” and a some positive feedback in other areas “also unrelated to radio, so lets move on”. How is a fine 7 days reflected when it comes to the show? “probably [...]

It’s Christmas party season and while The Sheik wasn’t getting too down with the prospect of a fall in listener numbers “no no no, I hope they have fun” he was also realistic about the prospect of getting less listener feedback via the phone ”which means less complaints too, so, you know….”. But a true [...]
